January Bouldering in MT

Oh friggen face it. You CAN'T climb rock year round in SD, ND, MT... and it's damn ridiculous to say that you can. Seriously. You can not. - from RC.com


It was almost 50° when I met up with the crew...we decided to bask in the sun at a previous unexplored area. We were not disappointed...





Mojede on the FA...






After working another problem on the left aspect of the same boulder for a bit, Pat came back from a quick scope mission...and convinced us to go check out a couple of OWs he spied...




Mojede pantomimes the perceived beta...


As jamming it seems much harder...





Though the laying it back seemed to want to spit you...



Pat on the FA




Whitmore on the repeat


The other OW was not so easy...

...and also overhangs...




Climbing in the shade eventually got chilly, so we moved to warmer ground...

and some of us worked on some overhanging eyebrows...







All in all it was another great day in the backwaters...felt nice to be out climbing in a tshirt...

Hope y'all are getting some pulling in as well...

Cheers,

Tom

I was defending winter climbing in Montana! That fool on RC.com was so uninformed! Long live winter in the Batholith!
