Comments: This climb is spectacular. The crux is really fun but, messes with you a little bit the first time you climb it because you are standing on a nice pedistal then you have to go into the face. Well worth the time every time you visit rushmore.

Comments: Yeah the anchors are new. Been there only for a few months. There in a certain spot so you can swing them to the left or right side of the point they are on.

Comments: Finally, someone who can see where I'm going with this, thank you Jay.
This is the first 14 I've ever been on and my friend and I wanted to get our butts kicked, so we spent part of the day on it. When I was young I learned to get better at something you have to get your but kicked every once in a while. I may not care for the ratings but I do pay attention to them.
I deleted my earlier comment because I didnt like the way I came off at all, I was a little hot when I wrote it. I only get on ... more >>

Comments: I dont get caught up in big numbers, i just see a line i like and want to climb it. Simple as that. Yes sometimes I ask how hard a route is, but its because sometimes i get curious and dont feel like getting my but kicked that day. To me all that numbering system does is make some sound better than others. I dont believe in that because we are all equal, and it evens out somehow. I dont claim to be a better climber than anyone else or in any other way for that matter.

Comments: Thanks guys I really appreciate it. And to Greg, I was comparing Pop You Up to Lady's in Love (which by the way is one of the best 12s i have ever done in the area) and beetlejuice. Maybe I'm just missing how to do the bearhug part, I'll try to catch someone on it and see how they do it.

Comments: Does anyone know how hard Atomic Slap is? I've been wanting to climb it because it looks sweet, but i don't know how hard it is. If anyone knows please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated.
And is Pop You Up really a 12. I have climbed other 12's at rushmore and it wasnt as hard as that one. Maybe im just missing something on the route. If anyone knows something about it, that would be awesome too.

Comments: this is a killer route that has some cool akward moves. If your doing this route on toprope i think it goes at 11c/d, if your on lead its pushing 12a.

Comments: This climb is killer, after the first 15 feet or so, pretty laid back then you hit this slightly overhanging wall and the crux is thin, but cool.

Comments: This is a great route. Good holds except at the crux where there is a short blank spot, but the holds are still good holds there. A great route for climbers just starting to lead. And you people arguing about all of this bolting, WHO CARES, the ones putting more bolts are good people with saftey in mind, not every one can easily climb 5.7. Cant we all just get along.

Comments: This place rocks. The problems are pretty easy to find, the majority you just have to walk around the outside and you can see most of them. If you come here tho i would recommend to bring a brush for some of the holds.

Comments: This is a great climb for everyone. I could see how it would be scary on lead but if you look for places for gear its not too scary.

Comments: To caleb, The roof is about a 11d/12a i think, I dont think there are bolts going all the way up from directly underneath the roof into the face, but there are anchors above it, if you walk along the edge of the cliff from the parking walk until you see the huge boulder at the bottom that has a crack in the middle and there are 2 closed shunt anchors here on top of the wall, they are very easy to get to.

Comments: This is a super climb, interesting crux. There is a tradition when you redpiont it you are sapose to climb to the anchors and take a leap of faith of the rock.
