Description Suggest change

Mixed Shade, lots of bugs, gorgeous drainage.....

There are about seven routes on the wall. I could not find the names of these routes anywhere. I am putting this to give you what I know so this area can get more climbers.

Honestly the reason this area is not climbed in much is that the routes are awkward and there is better climbing just a few miles down the road at Kootenai.

10 draws should be enough for this area.

Getting There Suggest change

Head South on highway 93 from missoula for around 30 miles or so. Park at the Bass creek trailhead. Once you past the big rock on your right with the creek on your left your almost there. Look over to your right its not a very big wall it has maybe 7 routes.

This is the first climbable drainage down the Bitterroot. five minutes down the trail on your right. 1 minute scramble up scree.

Approach time: 5 minutes
