Spearfish Canyon, The VC & other Black Hills Limestone

South Dakota Climbing

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, Bethlehem, and Falling Rock.
