Hi, I recently got into climbing this last summer and have been really missing rock and getting tired of just gym climbing. Does anyone know of some good sport/trad places to climb near Bozeman during the winter? Thanks!

Try Gallatin Canyon for sport climbing or Hyalite for ice climbing in winter. Enjoy!

Scorched Earth in Gallatin should go if it isn't actively snowing. Is it better than being at Spire all day? That's a different question...

In terms of sport, Under the sea in Bear Canyon goes year round just be careful on the log. It’s a bit of a drive but Natural bridge is almost always a few degrees warmer than other crags in the winter time. For trad, Practice rock in Highlight is good if you get the sun angles right.

Other option is Winter Wall on the Madison -- south facing and no poison ivy or snakes in the winter :-)

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
