P2 5.7 Follow the crack/corner up and left to bolted anchor near a small tree on a big ledge.
P3 5.9 From the ledge head left to the corner, climb up and over the roof (fun move/crux) to easier ground and the top of the cliff. Belay from near the tree at the top of the crag.
Location The route starts about 20 yards from the parking area.
Walk off to the east down the sloping ramps.

| One of the few routes you can do in the Bozeman area during a sunny winter day. Great fingers, lie backs with a more stout final sequence. |

| You've got to take Montana ratings with a grain of salt. Back in the day, when these routes were put up, 5.10 was the hardest. So 5.9 was just one grade below, which still meant pretty hard. I guess Montanans are still a little behind the times, which may or may not be good. Anywhere else, the last pitch of this route would be called solid 5.10, maybe even 10+. There aren't very many 5.9's that pull a decent sized roof with almost nothing for feet at other destinations, even if it is bomber hand jams. A really fun route! |

| Goes in two pitches pretty easy, one to the big ledge with the tree and than a short one to the top. |
