Spaghetti Falls + pics

The Beartooths' winds were, and are, HOWLING. Made climbing interesting. Spaghetti Falls is in good condition with a decent approach. One of the coolest places to visit. If you are lucky with clear skies, the views are incredible. Beautiful granite faces all around. It appears a party walked off to the right, but if you bring two lines, it is a full 200' rap from a sling around the upper boulders.

They may be worth checking into early next year. Does anyone know know the name of a short, grade IV pillar halfway up the hike to Spaghetti? It's about 40' in height.

We asked around and nobody seemed to have any background on this route. For this reason, we are betting that it seldom forms. Currently, we'll leave as Unnamed, with nickname of "Lil' Buddy." It was short and steep (4), but fun. It adds an extra bit of climbing to be had while approaching, or descending from, Spaghetti Falls. [img]http://www.beartoothclimbing.net/LilBuddyAri1.JPG[/img]
