ROCK CLIMBING

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of grabbing hold of Big Sky’s rugged rock, with the Gallatin River rushing far below and the vast Montana landscape stretching out before you. Rock climbing here is an authentic adventure, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out. The heart of our climbing community lies in the stunning Gallatin Canyon along Highway 191, where a variety of routes—from classic trad to sport climbs—await.

It’s a place where you can challenge yourself, get a taste of the wild, and find the kind of peaceful focus that only comes from being completely in the moment. To help you get started safely and responsibly, we highly recommend exploring with a local guidebook or booking a trip with one of our trusted guides.
