Corona Corner FA 3/23/08

Description 

City Park located outside the city limits, honest! Four season climbing, comfortable in winter anytime the sun is out and daytime high is above 40F, summer afternoons can be extremely hot. Home to many (80+) boulder problems (see Super Sand Land, Joel Anderson). The few roped climbs here are THE VERY BEST legally accessed crack climbs on the Billings Rimrocks.

Getting There 

Boulder 5 minutes walk from Parking. Roped route approaches 10 to 30 minutes.

Carona Corner 5.11a  MT : Billings Rimrocks : Phipps Park

My favorite crack in Montana. Beautiful left facing corner with the best rock you will find anywhere on the rims. Excellent protection,the crux is simply enduring to the chains. Very reminiscent of Indian Creek climbing. Crack starts wide and narrows down at the steep finish. Must be accessed from the top, if you wander more than 10' from the bottom of the crack you will be trespassing on private property. ...[more]   Browse More Classics in MT
