Touch The Sky is currently developing a beginner friendly crag in the Gallatin Canyon. This limestone wall will host 15 routes ranging from 5.7-5.10. We need help with the financial burden of equipping these climbs with high quality hardware and the enormous amount of labor involved. Sponsorship of a climb, with a minimum donation of $80, will entitle you to first ascent privilege and the naming of the route. TTS staff will clean and install hardware. When it's ready to climb, we'll invite you out for your FA. The Bozeman community is in desperate need of a moderate crag that can disperse overuse of high impact areas like Practice Rock and Bear Canyon. Our project wall, with its easy approach, safe and sane bolting, and multiple sun exposures is perfect. This will be a great area for beginners looking to gain confidence, families, and kids developing a lifelong sense of adventure.
Cost to develop a single route, with hardware and a living wage paid for the expertise (and brute strength) required to make a quality climb, is between $80-$150. Sponsor a new route as an individual or as a team. Development has begun. Our goal is to have 15 routes ready to go by May of 2012. Contact us for more information. Donations can be made via the Paypal link to the left or by sending checks to Touch The Sky, PO BOX 6038, Bozeman, MT 59771. Donations are tax-deductible.
