Starts up slab to a dihedral/seam, then traverses left over a scary overhang.  Up more sustained slab to chains.

Technical, sustained, and thin on solid dark-gray stone.

Similar movement to Weapons, just harder. Crux is close to the ground, so stick-clipping is advised.

In the alcove to the right (south) around the corner from the other unknown routes, there are two short bolted slab climbs. This is the LEFT one.

Reasonably interesting/tenuous smears on smooth, bulletproof limestone, if you're into that sort of thing.

It is a touch spicy to force the direct line from the final bolt to the chains, but it is rather chill if you use the obvious jugs on the left arete at this point.

Technically the second pitch of It's-It, but most commonly done as one route in a single rope length. A 70m does not reach the ground when lowering, so stop at the It's-It anchor on the way down and lower off that.

limb up the face and around the arete to the anchor.

A decent route. Start left of an obvious alcove in the rock below a giant dihedral. Start in the dihedral, traverse to the first bolt, and enter a confusing and tricky sequence to gain a glaringly obvious jug below the third. From here, move up on small edges and the occasional hold around the small arete feature to the left. Second and less difficult crux comes at a small bulge at 2/3 height.

Moderate, but tough to onsite.

A great route, with a crimpy compression sequence down low before getting to a shake at about mid-height. After getting a quick rest, blast through a few more fun, but more moderate, moves as you continue up and right to finish on

Weapons of Mass Destruction

.

NOTE: This route is in the same cliff band as the cave, but is ~5 min walk to the right of the cave. Please edit with the correct name, FA, crag name, etc.

Pretty straightforward climb, attain the vertical crack and ascend to the anchor.

A absolutely fabulous route with great variety. Bouldery start leads to stemming in a balancy and tenuous dihedral to a gymnastic pull around a roof to a technical slab. Some horrifyingly tenuous moves but bolting is close and hence protection is excellent.

Start the first three clips or so with a hard to decipher and somewhat bouldery sequence (crux) involving high steps, stemming, and tick-tacking up on bad feet and "searchy" crimps. Tenuous but well protected and once the third clip is reached jugs start to appear. From here use the occasional right hand around the arete and stem your way up the consistent dihedral to a good stance below the roof. Find the jugs (they are there, pwomise) and pull right around the roof onto a beautiful rippled gray slab for a few clips with vertical seams containing sidepulls and the occasional stem. Good footwork will reward this last bit, and indeed the entire route.

Enjoy. One of the better routes on this section of cliff.

Wildecliff's namesake. A fantastic, long, and varied older mixed route that explores every variation on Storm Castle limestone: incipient cracks and corners to start, a long section of steep rippled gray slab, and a sequency overhang reminiscent of Scorched Earth before the chains. Please note that unlike many of the other climbs here, a selection of smaller gear to 1-2" is required, but there are many draws as well. A 70 m just gets you back down.

The furthermost left route that is in the general area of the cave It's-It climbs through fun sidepulls and crimps interspaced with decent rests.  Fun route and is often climbed to warm up for the other testpieces located near it.

A great and obvious enduro linkup of Of Mice and Men and The Raven. Begin on Of Mice and Men, climbing though it’s crux to the long chain draw, then break left into The Raven’s crux and climb to it’s anchor.

In the alcove to the right (south) around the corner from the other unknown routes, there are two short bolted slab climbs. This is the RIGHT one, next to the hand crack/corner.

The bolting seems to try to force you to climb the slab directly, without stemming across the dihedral to the right wall or using the obvious hand/fist crack in the corner. Doing so is possible (and significantly increases the grade), but isn't worth the reward to do so. Instead, it climbs as a dirt filled hand/fist crack from which you reach out to clip the bolts.

Sustained climbing up an isolated refrigerator wide column with money heel hooks the whole way. decent rest on big feet up and right of column ,then power through a very difficult roof to onsite. committing moves over the roof

Dockins book goes 11c as Kyles goes 12a. Have fun! its hard!

A ridiculous but somehow entertaining linkup (depending on your taste and/or state of mind) for those who are looking to squeeze a few more drops out of the lemon.

Begin on Hantavirus and continue though Bi-Winning’s roof and crux, eventually ending up at the large obvious jug on Of Mice and Men. This is where if you were sane you would continue straight up... but since your brain is infected, clip the bolt to the left of the jug and down climb into The Raven’s crux and finish as for The Raven. Clip the anchor and revel in your insanity.

Two boulder problems divided by a rest. Seldom climbed but just as fun as the other climbs in the cave.

MORE BETA WELCOME!

This route has three distinct cruxes, the hardest (10-?) being the excellent upper headwall through the final bolt. Sadly, there is some pretty meh climbing encountered in order to get there.

Getting off the ground and through the first bolt is harder than it looks from the ground---a stick clip isn't a bad idea, especially considering how quickly the ground slopes away.

If the dihedral weren't so dirty it would get more stars. An interesting bouldery start (think "stem") leads to a high first bolt. After the third bolt or so, leave the dihedral leftwards and launch up the thin face following a wandering line, utilizing edges, vertical seams, and the occasional excursion into the dihedral, especially at the top.

Fairly sustained slab movement with not a lot to work with, but it's all there!

Cool, sustained climbing on less than brilliant rock. I wasn’t too worried about sending dangerous rocks down onto my belayer, but I was continuously showering him with little bits of rock. The holds all felt solid. An epic wire brush scrubbing session might significantly improve the route. The crux is at the top, as you pull a final overhang and finally get into better quality rock. Worthwhile and interesting route in spite of the chossy feel.

Heads up and slightly left from the left edge of built up party ledge, aiming towards a upper dihedral for the final two bolts (crux). Generally good fun on solid rock.

A great variation that links Hantavirus into Of Mice and Men for a nice full pitch. Climb Hantavirus through its crux but instead of continuing right into WMD’s finish, climb up and left though a spicy roof crux and finish on Of Mice and Men.

A first 12 project for many a Bozeman sport climber.  Expect bouldery moves past a bulge into a tenuous crux.  A short crack leads to a decent stance beneath a roof. Find the jugs and fire for the chains!

Start with a fun V2-ish boulder problem out of the cave. After resting on any number of jugs on the way out, power through the crux, into another set of rest jugs at the chain clip (6th clip). Get it all back at a no-hands rest, before you cruise through the vertical finish. Don't let your guard down, though, as deceivingly slopey crimps guard the chains.

Super fun. Route starts on cruiser jugs through an overhang. Make a big lockoff over the lip to transition into crimpy and technical face climbing up into a small corner. Rest up, and tackle the vicious and obvious crux on slopey holds and sidepulls up a detached arete to surmount a small overhang/lip onto a slab, where the chains await.

The holds are all there, and the rock quality is quite good despite being of the lighter variety. Get on it.

Start up the short dihedral, on tricky, inobvious moves. Traverse left into the scoop and work through a spicy section to reach the next bolt. A few tough moves gain the slab above and easier climbing to the anchors.

Of course you were thinking, “How do I start on Hantavirus and end on On the Job Training?”.

Begin Hantavirus and figure out a way to exit mid crux to get to the mail slot on WMD. Then figure out how to get from the large crack on WMD into Can-Dunne’s crux. Continue cruxing right into Sub Zero’s crux. Don’t even think about threading the shuts at the end of Sub Zero. Continue up and right, finishing as for On the Job Training.

A power endurance link-up consisting of Can-Dunne, Sub-Zero, and On the Job Training. Start by climbing the first three bolts of Can-Dunne then transfer into Sub-Zero for its crux. Instead of finishing at the open shuts, continue up and right to finish as for On the Job Training. Contrary to it’s name, it is considered by some to be the best line on the wall. A knee pad is handy.

The first 3/4 of this route is excellent fun on solid rock (5.8?), before cruxing out through the last two bolts (a bit dirty).

Getting to the first bolt is easy climbing, but it would be really problematic to fall here.

Slightly harder than Wilde Dreizehn.

Varied, sustained climbing up perfect limestone, although the first 3 feet feel different. A must do.
