Bear Canyon

It has been pretty boring and cold in Nashville as of late. So….I went through some old pics and found these. This is when I first took my wife (girlfriend at the time) climbing outside of a gym. Bear Canyon is and was one of my favorite places in Bozeman, MT. Once you park at the trailhead, it is a 1/2 mile hike on a logging road until you spot a cairn. At the cairn, you need to cross a fallen tree over a creek. Crossing the creek at spring runoff was scarier for my wife than actually climbing the rock. From there, you hike straight up the mountain side to these walls. It is mostly sport climbing with great anchors and well placed bolts. Difficulty ranks from 5.7 to 5.11. It is a great after work climb!
