Gallatin Tower - September 11, 2007

I had the incredible pleasure to go rock climbing with Fred Beckey & Dick Dorworth in the beautiful Gallatin Canyon, Montana. Three short pitches.

Getting Ready. "Looks like pretty good rock, eh?" First Pitch First Pitch First Pitch Pitch one Pitch one Check out that ape index! "Got any gear up there?" Second Pitch Dorworth belaying. Second Pitch. Beckey taking the sharp end. Beckey below the final pitch. Dick leading the crux third pitch. "Ya think Assiniboine is no good, eh?" Beckey hiking the crux (local 5.6) - 5.8 most other places. Third Pitch Classic Beckey. Third Pitch Third Pitch Third Pitch My favorite shot of the day. On top of the Gallatin Tower. Beckey talking Presidential Politics. Fred Beckey & Dick Dorworth. Two American Legends.
