As dramatic and stunning as Montana's mountain ranges are, can you believe that NOT ONE of Montana's highest peaks falls into the Top 100 tallest peaks in the lower United States?

This would be incredible!

A video just released by the Park County Sheriff's Office shows the daring rescue of two climbers stranded on a ledge at 11,200 feet in the Absarokee Mountains.

Several agencies were involved in a climbing rescue on Monday morning on Granite Peak along with a SEPARATE rescue/assistance call.

Speaking of the heroes who reconstructed the Bozeman Ice Festival and World Cup climbing structure, take a look at the festival in action from a drone over the Gallatin County Fairgrounds.

Climbers are amazing. Remember that crazy wind storm that came through Bozeman a few weeks ago knocking down fences all over town? It also completely flattened the climbing structure for the 2015 Bozeman Ice Festival which was just two weeks away.

I don't know Allison McCuskey but I'm jealous of her. She packed the summer of 2015 FULL of mountain biking, camping, yoga, river time and just about everything else that's cool to do around here.

It's right above Ainger Lake, of course! You'll find it north of Bozeman in the Bridger Range off the Fairy Lake road.

Most don't know it's been happening for 17 years but THIS year's Bozeman Ice Festival appeared to be the best ever and more visible to non-climbers. It's a great community of people who find their passion in ice climbing and for those who don't - it's fantastic to watch and learn.

The Country Bookshelf will host pioneer climber Joe Fitschen Thursday March 7, 2013, at 7:00 pm, for a special reading and signing of his new book Going Up: Tales Told on the Road to El Capitan. Fitschen, with three companions, made the first continuous ascent of El Capitan in Yosemite Valley.
