: I listed those climbs in the Beartooths as first ascents, however, my motto for the Beartooths is “There’s no such thing as a first ascent in the Beartooths , just go climb”. Because those mountains are unique in that there is not a lot of info on what has been done there. Many times I have been on a route I think is new and I come across an old sling or piton. So on the routes I listed we found no sign of others but who knows. Also I will tell you where the route is but if you need a list of what cams you need for which pitch then the Beartooths are not for you. The Beartooths are about adventure and are not for the meek, so if you can’t stomach it stay at your local crag or climbing gym. Rusty
