I would check the road status before you leave Billings. The road between Crandall and Cooke will likely be snowed in by then. You'll probably need to go around to Bozeman, down to Gardiner, and across Lamar Valley. The Beartooth Highway will certainly be closed.
Good thought. The Base Camp in Billings does all kinds of gear rental, and they have good stuff.You can rent crampons and snowshoes from local mountain shops if you need some gear let me know and I'll be happy to loan you some stuff for your adventure. There's no sense in spending an extra 400 bucks on stuff your gonna sell. I'm not thinking I'll be using the mountain backcountry stuff on my bull quest.
Depending on when your coming id even loan you some camp stuff to minimize gear travel.
Good on ya for getting back after it!
That's a great thought to flying to bozo might be cheaper. Although I won't be able to loan any gear at that point.Or just fly in to Bozo. Hair should be getting good by the 15th of November.

One of these and a regular pole for the other hand? Or two of these?Crampons/Micro-Spikes are nice for the steep stuff when ice is involved- Crampons are preferred. I also carry a Black Diamond Whippet in place of a trekking pole. The large basket is nice when the snow gets deep, and the ice-ax head is great for giving a little extra "stopping power" for slips and slides. If you're buying snowshoes, check out the MSR Lighting Accents- They're spendy but bomber and have great grip on the edges. Keep us all updated on your timeline.
