And the finish-you just mantle the very edge of the cliff and belay on the pine needles with an incredible view at your feet. My Mom's Muscle Shirt climbs one of those gorgeous towers. It's nine pitches long and on the approach you can see elk and you have to deal with river crossings. It's my favorite because of the mix-the route, the location, the towers. It symbolizes Montana climbing for me.
Every pitch is different.
There's thin seams to chimneys. Life's never the same after you do that route. So it pushed me in a way that I didn't think I could do, plus the moves on it are really good, even though I was getting shut down. It's long and located on perfect granite with lots of variation. Also, the position up the center of the wall is striking.
