East Crags

Montana > Southwest Region > Frog Rock

Description

These are the towers, fins, walls and spires uphill and east of the "main crag".

Getting There

Hike the normal approach, but before getting to the main area, take a left on a climber trail at the shoulder just before scrambling down an obvious rock step. Follow the path (mostly obvious, partly flagged) uphill and south.
