The VC climbing guidebook
|
Hello, |
|
As of now that is the only guidebook available. mp.com is also a great source. the canyon is very easy to navigate and once you get down into it, it's basically left side and right side. nevertheless the SD limestone guidebook is great to have if you plan on checking out the other great limestone offerings of SD. check it out, youtube.com/watch?v=SC0Rjzs… . |

Thanks guys I appreciate the feedback. I will probably get the book because I also want to ck out spearfish. I heard the VC requires 4x4 high clearance. I that true?? |
|
Nah. You can't park that close anymore. Used to be you could drive right to the saddle where you hike down and definitely wanted a high clearance vehicle for that but now you can't get that close - they closed that part of the road. Maybe a low rider isn't a good idea but a car would be fine unless it's super muddy or something. |

nice! we are flying and leaving the lolo's at home. Cant wait to get out there, it looks like our local crag kind of. |

Watch out for the poison ivy. I don't know if I came in contact with it at the VC or Spearfish. I tried to be hyper vigilant. My body reacted with such a strong inflammatory response that after a week of suffering and without improvement I went to the dermatologist. Shot in the ass and a weeks worth of meds. |
|
Thanks Jen, I hope we don't run into that!! It would still suck ass to wrestle with the ivy but at least I am in the right line of work for treatment. |

I think the mountain project pinned location for the VC is wrong. The pin is on private property. |
|
I was trying to get back there today and the gate off norsemen says no motorized vehicles. |
|
The forest service keeps the gate closed in the spring until the weather dries out. I'm guessing the gate wont open until mid June. |
