Mulkey Gulch is a small canyon with small granite outcroppings. The tallest of these is Mulkey Tower at 250′. The outcrops vary from slabs to overhanging towers. Difficulty ratings range from 5.8 to 5.12.
Mulkey Gulch is located 45 miles east of Missoula on private property. This secluded canyon is split into two shady drainages, Wet Mulkey and Dry Mulkey. There are over thirty routes found here, most of which are bolted with fixed rappel anchors at their ends. However, some gear may be needed to limit the runout factor. As with many limestone areas, the climbing is primarily thin, delicate, balancy routes but overall the rock is solid. The climbing season runs primarily from March to November depending on the weather but is best in early summer and late fall.
