Baby Roof Rock is a climbing area in the Butte Ranger District of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest in western Montana, managed by the Forest Service. It sits about 0.3 miles from Gillespie Basin, another climbing area, which makes the pair an easy anchor for a day of bouldering or route climbing in this part of the forest. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Butte show July highs around 81°F with lows near 46°F. That station sits well below the climbing area, so temperatures up high run cooler. Winters are cold, with January highs around freezing and lows in the teens. Nearby options include the FS 173 mountain biking route about 2 miles away and the Spring Creek hike at 2.6 miles. For an overnight stay, Delmoe Lake Campground is about 4.7 miles off.
