There's not many pictures of that area on MP but from what there is it does look allot like the place in the video. Looks like a cool place to climb. Thanks Kirra.

It looks pretty cool.
I like the Opeth soundtrack. That song kicks ass.

I watched some more of this guys videos and apparently it's somewhere in Montana called the Sunshine Wall. Anyone ever heard of it?

Sorry I'm board it's raining here in Utah so no climbing today :(

The coulee is really fun for climbers of all abilities. There are hundreds of routes, both trad and sport with tons of moderates. It can get really hot in the area in Summer but Spring and Fall are great. It should be good until mid November but later in the year than that you can expect frequent snow storms.

good idea to start a list for when things warm up again - could make a nice trip if combined with a little granite in the Leavenworth area

meanwhile i'm still trying to get out to the cottonwoods :)~

If You want to climb the cottonwoods let me know you can just crash here if you don't mind hanging out with the family. By the way, I spent two years at the culinary institute of America..... So you might gain a few pounds while your here..

Well considering it snowed down to about 8000' last night I would say about another month.

you should mention that the next time the az posse bickers about the Stronghold... they should all get a room already

"It's MY route"

"No, it's MY route, I'm first so I get to name it"

I'll be sure to suggest that the next time the squabbling starts down here.
Perhaps we could join you in your room, you know...the one made of rubber?

LOL,

Hmm I never knew about that area. It looks strikingly similar to Trout Creek in Oregon. Are you sure it isn't Trout Creek?
