Spearfish Canyon, South Dakota

A very nice area in the Black hills. The main cliffs have many walls separated by bands of broken rock.

Some stiff ratings await you!

Flashing Strung out on Crack .8

Not sure what this wall is called but it is at the Botany Bay parking lot and is visible from the lot. Really steep with some easier climbs down and to the right.
