Comments: Great boulder problem on a rope.
Bring finger-sized gear to back up the lone bolt for the follower.
Sketchy getting down via Muchachas rappel (scree). Another option would be to drop your line down Jet Screamin' though I haven't tried this.

Comments: It's all about perspective. The Black Cliffs are pretty chossy, but there are a few good lines in between piles. Same goes for Mores, but with less quantity. It's not the City, but IMO worth a trip from Boise when it's too hot in the valley and you don't have a lot of time.

Comments: I agree with you, Heller. I thought that clipping the 5th bolt from below would have been nearly impossible (for me).
The fourth bolt, which is easy to clip, protects the crux, but is at, or below, your feet when you are making the last difficult move. But it's nothing but air below.

Comments: One 60 m is plenty. Rap from slings around a horn.. might want to carry a bit extra to replace if needed. Not that bad w/o tape IMO.

Comments: Thu, there are a couple areas that are fine for kids. Namely, Shadowlands and Dark Side as well as parts of Sunshine area. Short approaches with large flat areas. I think the Cronin guide even has a 'kid-friendliness' rating system for each area. Enjoy your visit; Spearfish is great.

Comments: I would say it is definitely more run out than its neighbor 'slippery slope'. But the harder parts are certainly well-protected, which is probably what Cory alludes to in his comparison.
Just be prepared to find yourself in some "don't fall" territory on some easier climbing (think 5.5ish) on the upper pitches (which are super fun).
This is my favorite of the 4 routes described here. Great rock.

Comments: Yet another gem of a Bob Kamps route. I remember being gripped and I clipped the bolt, which I now understand to be a retro job.
Rich, do you happen to know if there is any truth to the the guidebook anecdote about the FA? Apparently Kamps didn't like the rap bolt that was drilled so they used Lauria as a counterweight backup (webbing around his wrists?) for the first 3 rappels. Must have drawn the short straw.

Comments: Best route description on this website?
Opening move difficulty is possibly height-dependent.

Comments: Hey man, nice work on the new development on the Sioux quartzite!
Not to bust your balls or anything, but do you think you could add a few words about the approach?
cheers
