Central Montana Rock

By Jake Mergenthaler and the Helena Climbers' Coalition

Central Montana Rock documents a diverse set of crags between Helena and the Rocky Mountain Front. From granitic trad adventures to steep limestone sport climbing, this unique region juxtaposes some of the hardest climbs in the state with beginner friendly crags and offers a complete spectrum in between.
