Published posthumously; Butte's Climbing Guide is a tribute to the author, a Butte native and Montana climbing legend, Dwight Bishop. This is the definitive guide to rock climbing and bouldering of the famous and unique "Boulder Batholith."

Spread out across the Continental Divide, the areas covered offer a wealth of climbing opportunities with everything from roadside crags, to the best back country spires in the state, to vast and largely untapped bouldering fields.

Long popular with locals from Butte, Missoula, Bozeman and Helena, the Boulder Batholith is scattered near the arteries of Interstate 90 and Interstate 15; offering an easily accessible "stop-over" for road-tripping climbers from Alberta or from across the US headed south to the desert, north to Canada, east to Devil's Tower, or west to the Cascades.

With over half the described climbs (both sport and traditional gear) rated 5.10 or less, hundreds of boulder problems under V2, 5.13 finger cracks, and untold new routes yet to be developed, this book certainly "has something for everyone."

FROM THE FOREWORD:
"It is the dream of all those involved that future editions of this guide will transcend any concept of individual authorship and become a community owned, and sustained, project.

The routes listed in this book are less than half the climbs and boulder problems completed along the Boulder Batholith. Their exclusion is by design and we all hope you will discover them for yourself."
