| Let's get a decent description here. First, I think this is the first 5.9 I've done that has a mandatory move pulling a roof on ringlocks. I've been on some 5.11s that had moves like that. This is a very good route, and I think it gets overlooked. The rock quality is the very highest for this area, and the crack is clean and sustained. Start on some blocky looking stuff just left of Tigger, you can get some nut placements in here, then up under the first roof(#3 camalot). Exit right and some easy moves take you under the second main roof. Good hands under the roof narrow to .75s(ringlocks) above. AS I said it is a mandatory pull on ringlocks, but there are some feet. Stays sustained on .75s but then widens again to good hands under the 3RD roof. You can go straight up through the roof in a flaring finger crack or exit right and go up the slab/offwidth. Highly recommended route! Bring multiple .75s if you got em' |

| Welcome to Montana, where 5.9 gets your attention! Would feel a lot more heady pulling through the roof if you didn't have such excellent pro. |
