DescriptionAnother easy to access Rushmore area with fun climbs of a variety of difficulties. I would guess the most popular route in the area is the beautiful 'Gossamer'. If you're into hard 11s, 'Valhalla' might be of interest. Getting ThereThe Monster area is another one that is easy to find and easy to get lost in. See directions under the 'Marker' area. From the sign in board, the gully goes forward, with the Marker on the right, Monster is on the left.

Featured Route For Monster
Side Arm 5.11d SD : Mount Rushmore National Mem... : ... : Monster
Side Arm is across and slightly up the gully from Teachers Pet. It ascends the arete to the left of Crystal Ship. From the base, scramble up the easy gully 20', then move left along a small ledge (continue about 15' past the first bolt on Crystal Ship) to clip the first bolt. Straight up from there . . . enjoy! Note: Clipping the 7th bolt can be strenuous, make it quick!...[more] Browse More Classics in SD
