shapp Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Yes, 8.5 hours or so, probably spring and fall. Not much guide info except the link above. There are a buch of crags all round the area that look good. Floated the lower Owyhee this last May and scoped some lines. While most of the rock in the lower Owyhee Canyon is total choss, there are some fairly sane looking lines with defenite potential for some aid and trad besides weld tuff Leslie Gulch festivities.

powderhound Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 If you can get in touch with Tony Yaniro he would probably have some good information for you. It is my understanding that this area was his little design project. He lives in Bozeman, Mt, maybe look him up in the yellow pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
