Description

TIT ROCK is a great place for the 5.5-5.6 climbers to practice their leading skills. Climbs range from 5.5-5.10. On the SE face is Fun Bags ( 5.6) very well bolted almost to easy. Route runs through a slight bulge making it great for learning slight bulges. It has huge crystals the whole way up. The start of the climbs on the SE face usual involve scrambling for the first 10-15 feet. Usually not much traffic through this area. Good views of the Rushmore area from the top. Especially South Seas area and Proghorn.

Getting There

Head South past the South Seas Climbers sign in sign and just before the path goes into the valley. Look to your left to see a small faint path. This will lead you to Proghorn. If you follow it down past and around Proghorn staying on path it will take you to Tit Rock. Rock is a large pyramid like formation. That has a huge horizontal slit/ bulge on its SE face.
