Description 

My favorite crack in Montana. Beautiful left facing corner with the best rock you will find anywhere on the rims. Excellent protection,the crux is simply enduring to the chains. Very reminiscent of Indian Creek climbing. Crack starts wide and narrows down at the steep finish. Must be accessed from the top, if you wander more than 10' from the bottom of the crack you will be trespassing on private property.

Location 

It's a 20 minute hike up a steep jeep trail to the climb. The best way to find it is to zoom to these co-ordinates 45.808218,-108.696654 (marking the top anchor) on a google map, rap down the anchors then climb your way back up.

Protection 

Camalots from #5 to #3 Heavy on #4's. You can also place a six down low (I don't)
