Description Suggest change

Great roadside crag with easy approach with short top rope, bolted sport, and trad climbs. A handful of routes with multiple variations ranging from 5.8 - 5.11b with a large amount of bouldering and new route development potential. The rock is Granite and consists of mostly sharp edge climbing with a few cracks to jam fingers and hands into. Climbs range from 25 to 50 feet tall. Great place to take the family.

Getting There Suggest change

Drive south from Butte on MT-2 (Old Highway 10) towards Whitehall. Crag is located on north side of the highway approx. 1/2 mile east of mm 70. Watch for gravel pullout at the base of the rock formation.
