Description Suggest change

Secluded destination Limestone sport climbing crag with a high concentration of "hard" climbing (5.13 meca).  That being said, this crag offers all levels of sport climbs.  Located a short distance off I-15 between Butte and Dillon. Could be considered a destination climbing area.  Camping on BLM.  Please travel to outhouses to relieve yourself, be considerate of the local floral and fauna and consider leaving your dog at home.  Please note you are in the backyard of private landowners so be respectful.  Also, Fern Gully is located on private land so treat it well.  Remember every time someone defecates under a rock, this eventually finds it's way to the BIG HOLE RIVER. The Big Hole river generates over $100 million dollars of revenue yearly, with fly fishermen and tourists. Let's not get this place closed because of ignorance. 

Getting There Suggest change

Off I-15 take Moose Creek Exit 99. Head west then take the first right onto the Frontage Road. Take the first left onto Maiden Rock Road and follow over the Big Hole River, then go .5 miles past an outhouse (where you will relieve yourself later) and boat launch. Take the first left up the side canyon on Lower Canyon Creek. Follow for 1.5 miles to meadow with a large historical lime kiln. Park and camp here.
