Vision Quest Wall is a climbing area in the Butte Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management in Montana. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with War Wall, Indian Creek and Medicine Hole Wall all about 0.1 mile away. The routes here are all sport climbs, and they run from about 5.10a to 5.11c. The Vision Quest route, named after the wall, is a 5.10d, and Snake Dance is the hardest at 5.11a. White Hawk, also 5.10c/d, was first climbed by Ron Brunkhorst, and Windigo was first climbed in 2009 by Olin Erickson and Ron Brunckhorst. Summer is the most comfortable season to visit. A nearby weather station at Townsend, at a lower elevation than the wall, records typical July and August highs around 83°F with lows near 50°F, while winter highs average about 34°F with lows around 14°F. Other climbing is close by, and there are places to camp and ride as well. Indian Road Group Use Shelter is about 4.7 miles away, and the FS 4031-C1 mountain biking trail is about 2.8 miles away.
