Partner In Crime

5.10d, Sport, 70 ft (21 m),  Avg: 2.8 from 13 votes
FA: Conor Dysinger, Tess Carlson
Montana > Northwest Region > Rattler Gulch > Rock In Between

Description

PIC stands alone from the other climbs in the area, downhill on small section of good grey rock that is a bit steeper than it appears. Sequential and balancey moves on crimps, sidepulls, and underclings, and a very thought provoking crux. This is a new route so be careful for some fragile chert knobs. Well protected and safe, a good moderate to check out.

Location

Located downhill from St. Louis Direct and the Shredder Wall. It is on the same fin of rock as St. Louis Direct. Follow the wall downhill on the north side and you will see it.

Protection

Bolts, Chain anchors

[Hide Comment] Hidden Rattler gem. This one might just be my favorite 5.10 here.
A word of caution though...When you reach the left Arete and see the very large block, DO NOT stand or pull on it. The thing lurched down when I threw my heel on it, and if you pull this thing off it's almost certainly killing your belayer. Jan 8, 2017
