Starting up Practice Crack

5.6 Crack 5.6  MT : Practice Rock
This route follows the obvious, right-leaning hand crack on the west-facing wall at Practice Rock. Climb the crack up and right until you reach a ramp with an old quarter inch bolt. Continue up a few ledges to the bolt anchor above and slightly left. Alternatively, there is another bolted anchor to the right on the big ledge. This route is mislabeled as "Practice Crack" in the new Southwest Montana Rock guide....[more]   Browse More Classics in MT

Awesome crag but it's not basalt. It's gneiss

Also, I wouldn't say there are any "sport" climbs. There are bolted climbs, but you're going to want gear to supplement the bolts.
