Montana > Southwest Region > Butte Area > Spire Rock > King (W Face)

Description

Crimpy, slopey slabfest with a crux right off the ground and a second awkward crux section around the 3rd bolt. "Awkward" meaning route reading makes apparent the notion that the best method on this short section is layback climbing, but this plan kinda falls apart when you're actually doing it. Bouldery bottom, TC heaven thereafter.

Location

The left of, and sharing an anchor with, Time Warp and The Royal We. Just right of White Line.

Protection

5 or 6 bolts, bolted anchor with chains. Directional recommend for comfortable TR, but can be done without.
