The Trough follows an obvious depression in the south face of the Pollock Mtn Spur. Many variations and lines can be done up this wide trough. Generally 5.7 - 5.9 moves with intermittent ledge systems for belays. Decent rock for GNP. Lots of loose rock on ledges. Crux moves depend on line chosen.

The

"Quadra-Fecta"

route established by Greg and Idara Aguinaga of

Go Wild Adventures - Montana

. July 9, 2015. Four peaks in one day. Total elevation change = 10,304 feet. (5127' of ascent and 5177' of descent) Mountains climbed: Piegan (via the SW Slope), Cataract (West Ridge), Pollock (South Face via the "Cleft") & Bishops Cap (Standard Route). This is a long arduous day climbing and traversing in the high mountains of Glacier Park. Beautiful views and fun climbing. Bring plenty of extra water... you'll need it.

See our photo documentation of the route on our Facebook page.
