The Chump of Chimney Butte

Twin cracks at the start are available for solid toe jams and fingers. There is a rose bush growing in a crack half way up the route. Be aware of this so you don't grab onto it and get a fistful of thorns. This route may have been the first toprope ever done in North Dakota back in 1994.

Twin cracks at the start. The crux is 3/4 of the way up. 

Chimney climb with few solid foot holds. It's fairly difficult to smear so be prepared to use your upper body. 

Somewhat easy route route that moves right. Some loose rock up top. Rock is pretty soft and I suspect cams would likely rip out. 

For the lost, stranded, or otherwise misplaced ones of the Bakken oil fields, this is a small sanctuary.  It's on public grasslands, but the land is also leased by nearby ranchers. Please be mindful of this. The rock is a very poor quality siltstone, and large boulders and flakes can detach easily. Some care has been given to clean loose debris off several of these short pitches, but things can change. The T stakes were pounded in sometime during the spring of 2015, but accelerated corrosion is not uncommon in the vicinity of oil production sites.
