Crossing the Line

Perhaps the most exposed pitch in the Bozeman area, Crossing the Line offers an alternate, bolted third pitch for Thin White Line that is a worthy finish following TWL's superb second pitch. Move out left from the second pitch anchors on jugs through slightly overhanging terrain towards the arête. Climb up the arête using rounded crimps and a trio of one-, two- and three-finger pockets interspersed with jugs all while having a nauseating 200' of air below you. At the top work back right through easy terrain to the original third pitch anchors of Thin White Line. Easiest to have a follower clean but also possible when lowering. 

Note: if you are not up for the second pitch of Thin White Line, it is easy to hike around to the top of the formation and rappel to the top the second pitch of Thin White Line to climb Crossing the Line. If you want some fun climbing with gripping exposure, I highly recommend doing so just for this pitch. 

Starts out left from the top of the second pitch of Thin White Line. 

6 bolts.
