Images from Lake KooCanUSA (Stone Hill)

[monoslideshow id=27]

Lisa, Zane and I got a great tour of the climbing at Lake Koocanusa from the Boveng Family (Arne, April and Karl).   As gravity often has it’s way with climbing, we stayed on the wall adjacent to the road.   I especially like the crack routes, which were often characterized by tricky gear placements and sandbagged ratings.

Stone Hill is the name of the quartzite cliffs that rise above Lake Koocanusa near the Canadian Border in Montana.   If you don’t know where the name came from look at the title and it will be pretty clear.   It’s a very pretty setting and although some of the climbs are right next the the highway, they are also right next to your car, saving you from having to carry your gear more than a few feet.
