Description 

The Billings Rimrocks(The Rims), the often neglected and unjustly overlooked climbing mecca of eastern Montana. The most popular climbing area is above the Gregory subdivision. There are some great cracks and some great although sometimes fragile face climbs. Toproping is the norm because of the aforementioned rock quality although cracks usually take good medium to large sized pro. There are a few bolted routes but choose your poison as sandy and brittle rock, junk hardware and poor bolting abounds. Most routes have easily accessable "bolt"(epoxied carriage bolts threaded through small diameter chain links, check and back them up) or natural anchors. A great local winter climbing destination but avoid it during the heat of the summer after 10:00am. Also be aware of the extreme rockfall potential and belay and hang out well away from the base of the climbs(helmets advised). Don't forget to bring your sense of humor and as always pack out all trash including cigarette butts, tape and anything else you're tempted to leave behind.
