Dust Devil

5.10b, Sport, 80 ft (24 m),  Avg: 2.3 from 6 votes
FA: Dan Bachen
Montana > Southwest Region > Helena Area > Mt Helena > Water Streak Area

Description

Start to the right of the cave and bolt line then step left. Climb the juggy wall above until a stance right of a small alcove is reached. Move up and right to a thin crux. Gain the crack and cruse to the chains.

There is still a bit of choss and dust in the lower section, but the route should clean up with some traffic. Nothing outrageous but probably best to wear a helmet stick clip the first bolt or two, etc. 

Location

Right of prospector, the route starts on the right side of a small cave

Protection

10 bolts to hooks
