About
Milk Bone is a rock climbing crag located in the Silverton area of the Western Slope, specifically within the Ice Lake Crag system along the Million Dollar Highway. The site sits at an elevation of approximately 9,997 feet. The primary feature is a black streak just left of a grassy crack, with routes requiring climbers to head right through an arête. The climbing is classified as difficult, with established routes rated up to 5.10b. The area offers parking and is pet friendly.
