A limestone crag located east of Missoula. The climbing is slabby and technical, requiring precise footwork and balance. The area offers a mix of bolted sport routes and traditional lines. Mulkey Tower is the most accessible sector, providing a good introduction to the area's style.

Located on private property. A new owner has expressed dislike for climbing due to liability concerns, and parties may be asked to leave. Respect private property and leave no trace.
