Helena Montana

[thomhanks]

Hey, not sure if I should post this in the Montana section or the misc. areas one but I'll post it here for now. I will be moving to Helena Montana in the next week and will be looking for people to climb with. I can climb up to 10's, slightly weaker leading on gear but happy to follow and wanting to get stronger. I have a full rack and rope and just want to get out and climb. If anybody knows anybody or has any connections in the area anything is good.

if you trek over to bozeman I'll climb with ya. I "know" a climber in Missoula (he was introduced to me over the internet by another climber I also met over the internet. I could forward this post to him if yer really desperate, but seeing as you are in Helena, not Missoula, that wouldn't do you any good.

 

Is there a gym in Helena? drop by there and go climbing with the guy who's belaying with a munter.

I'm from Montana. Go to the Basecamp in Helena and they can get you informed. In Bozeman it is Northern Lights. Expect to climb near Butte, Missoula, or Bozeman for best results with rock climbing.

I'm not desperate quite yet, I'll come over to Bozeman and check out Gallatin Canyon if thats what option I have. I've been checking out mountainproject and rockclimbing to check out what climbing there is around Hellena, and there appears to be some cool limestone and a little granite not too far away. I'll definitely go checkout the Basecamp once I get there. Thanks for the info.

Gallatin Canyon (trad), Hyalite canyon (trad), Bozeman Pass (sport) are good options.

 

A few people like Lowe and Anker and Callis have climbed around here.
