Advancing down Reno Creek, Custer paused at a tipi behind this ridge that contained the remains of a Sans Arc warrior killed a week earlier at the Battle of the Rosebud. Indians fled toward the village, prompting Custer to order Reno's battalion to continue down the creek and attack. Custer's five companies then separated and passed near here after observing 60-75 mounted warriors on these bluffs. Although Custer's motives are not known, he may have intended to strike the village downstream.
