Short approachMulti-pitch trad routesBeautiful granite gneissAn hour from BozemanRight outside of Big SkyStunning views from summit

Once you get into Big Sky, follow Beehive Basin Road to the trailhead. There you will begin a mellow 4 mile hike to the basin. This is a good place to hang out, take in the scenery, and fuel up for the climb. The approach to the southeast face is about 2 miles of hiking and scrambling over boulders and talus. Upon reaching the wall, there are a variety of routes to take to the summit. Worker Bee is a fun 5.7 trad route consisting of two pitches. This route follows a dihedral and requires climbing (squeezing!) through two chimneys. When you top out you are greeted with stunning views all around - Lone Peak stands tall to the South. Descend via the couloir to the south.

Short Hike to Ousel Falls

The trailhead is easy to find, and has a vault toilet and a decently sized parking lot. The trail leaves from right next to the toilets, and is very easy to follow. Follow a couple easy switchbacks down the hillside, cross the memorial bridge and stop to take in the beautiful scenery before following the trail up the opposite bank. The trail meanders near the river, and in the winter the rock ...

Run the Rut

Thunderdome. That's the only way to describe it. Eight months later and I'm still thinking about it on a regular basis. My half-way grown out black toenail is a constant reminder of the epic-ness of that brutal race day. The Rut is held the first weekend of September in Big Sky, MT -- a pretty rad place. Over the course of three days, four different events are held; the VK, one kilometer of el...

Beehive Basin has everything to offer. I went with climbing partners Aki and Wes, to scramble up th...
