Training for Ridgefest 2011. From left to right@SE...

Description 

The majority of climbs here are either sport or mixed climbs (i.e bring your nuts and cams). Climbs are short, close together, on good quality rock with closely spaced bolts.


Getting There 

This is the southern most rock formation in Moonlight Ridge and is the second formation one comes to from the trail on the north-east corner of needle's eye parking lot.

A very sustained and slightly overhanging route up an arete. Like other routes in this area, the holds look huge from the ground and some of them are. However, once on the climb you will find that many "jugs" are actually medium-sized crimpers....[more]   Browse More Classics in SD
