Climbing Granite Peak, Montana

Climbing Granite Peak is a geologist’s dream! 12,807 ft Granite Peak is just northeast of Yellowstone Park and is the tallest peak in Montana AND the tallest peak in the Beartooth uplift.

This video documents a successful climb to the summit via the Mystic Lake to Huckleberry Creek route, up Granite Glacier to the east ridge and a route-finding puzzle up the south face to the summit.

In the film I explore the deep and dramatic geology of the Beartooth uplift.
