Description

P1: ~180 feet, wide hands to an OW to a chimney. Climb through a roof to a narrowing crack. Move left through a short, crumbly traverse and a short bit later to a stance. Cruise up the perfect #4 splitter for 30 feet into the chimney. Fifty feet later step left to a luxurious ledge and belay.

P2:  ~70 feet. Pull past giant death boulders and into the chimney. Go up the obvious chimney to the summit. Build a belay off giant boulders on top.

Location

On your approach to Little Bighorn, just as you start walking up the hill, look up at the huge, protruding buttress split by a crack and chimney system.

Protection

2x 0.2-6 with an extra 4.
