Detailed Product Description
2011. 176 pp,  photos, diagrams and maps. The Black Hills in Western South Dakota is one of North America’s premier limestone sport climbing areas. Well protected routes on bomber, blue & tan limestone makes for spectacular climbing. From the pocket paradise of Spearfish Canyon with routes on vertical to slightly overhanging rock, to The VC with its forearm-blasting, knee-bar-scumming steep headwalls, the diversity of the climbing here is smorgasbord of styles. This first edition describes over 700 climbs at Spearfish Canyon, The VC (Victoria Canyon), Bethlehem, and Falling Rock.
 
This guidebook holds beta for 718 sport rock climbing routes, on some of the most brilliant limestone in the United States. It features full color wall photos, along with route, eats, sheets, and treats beta.  Numerous action photos, from an array of photographers, make this guidebook a must have for Black Hills Rock Climbing.
 
Spearfish Canyon is where limestone climbing took hold in the Black Hills. The climbing is located in multiple areas starting just outside of the town of Spearfish and ending near the Wyoming border. The first guide book by Bruce Junek came out about 10 years ago and covered much of the early development, such as Skeletal Remains, Wall of OZ, Mohican, Blue Sky, Big Picture Gully, Sunshine Wall, and The Thunderhead. Since that time countless new climbing routes have gone in at these areas and several new rock climbing areas have been established. At present, there are over 600 routes and a lifetime of climbing to be had in Spearfish Canyon alone!
 
Victoria Canyon, or The VC, is home to some of the steepest limestone climbing in South Dakota. It is located just outside of Rapid City or about 45 miles south of Spearfish. Bolting started about 5 years ago and currently there are over 60 climbing routes in The VC . This is an amazing Black Hills Canyon. The river that has carved the steep walls still flows about half the year, bringing life to the canyon and making for a unique rock climbing experience, as long as you don't mind getting your feet wet.
