Re: wowThey are very representative of the spires in many of the canyons of the Bitterroot Mountains. You really should come down and climb!

Re: wowWell the ice fall that forms between Shoshone and Nez Perc will be in sometime in late November/early December, and be in on and off until March. I have climbed Shosone spire as early a March, and as late as November. Probably the best time is in late June, super long days, not to hot, but the tics are horrible [my record is 19 in one day]! Then the next best time is usually Sept/October, except this year has been fairly cold, July and August can be miserable hot, but a super early start will get you off the rock by 1:00pm or so, beating the heat. So it is a bit of a crap shoot, but I would recommend the shoulder seasons of late spring/early fall for rock, and February for ice. Let me know if you are heading this way!
