FA Natz, Hoiness
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

5 pitches of Bitterroot adventure climbing put up over 2 trips. Retreat after pitch 2 will require leaving gear. You can bail from the anchor atop pitch 2 with 2 60M to the base.

Descending from the top is fairly simple. Just head north from the summit and gain the obvious gully to the west. Follow it back the base of the route.

Location

Right as you come out of the woods, just past the wilderness boundary, the climbing will be to your north on the Sombrero Buttress. See the beta photo.

Protection

Fixed anchors atop pitch 1 and 2. After that, gear may need to be left to bail. The FA party climbed with a single 45M rope and walked off.

  • Doubles 0-#2.

  • Single #3.

  • Optional #4 and extra small cams.
