Starts on a slab with fun moves and comfortably spaced bolts. The easy stuff ends real quick as this route boogies on up to a blank section with a mono to a jug pocket. After that, climb up to a big ledge, and hit up some pockets that are just too slope!The rest of the climb gets steep and sporty with big moves to big pockets and ledges to a small roof section with a fine finish if you can pick the right pocket from the too slope spectacular!

With so many holds on the Slim Shady this route gets hard cuz each jug is just of reach. 

  But some how, some way, ya keep getting jugs up all the way. 

  The crux is the pump for what seems to be hundreds and hundreds of jugs, pockets and funky ass ledges. It's a pumpy party that don't get over until six in the morning.

With my mind on my holds and my holds on my mind... 

  Starts on crimps that lead to a huge ass lay back move which goes to jugs, jugs, more jugs to pockets and other fascinating holds of all shapes and sizes. 

  Laid Back is an adventure in overhanging power and endurance. Not a rocket science route by any means. If you have the brawn, you don't need the beta. Just keep hucking yourself from small holds to monster holds and then hang on for dear life until you get that great rest to help shake off the overwhelming pump. 

  SICK! One technical move at the very end makes for a long ride if you miss the finishing jug. An awesomely pumpy climb that is yet surprisingly laid back. An absolute must do!

Ride an awe inspiring arete for millions of ten plus moves to holds of all sizes. Get a huge rest and pull a 12a crux to the heavens above.Get outgunned if you can't roll to a sidepull correctly, get shot down, take a long ride.

Are you looking for a cool as hell warm-up? Or do you wanna earn up some stamina and fitness that might help you get up some of Spearfish Canyon's bigger, badder A-List stars?This route has an interesting, nearly bouldery start that leads to crimpy cruxes between some big-ole jug-haul sections of overhung funky fun-ness.When the tough gets going, don't worry, you can gets yourself some good rests and clip stances.Burly! Crimpy! A sort of "give me your lunch money" kind of pocket pulling (and body tension), sidepull climbing (between jugs!) that seems to go on forever!

If you are an aspiring or accomplished five ten climber be sure to add this to your Black Hills wish list. A slabby black start with just one or two small, tweaky holds leads to a ton of super huge pockets, ledges, and jugs.This is a long route with quite a few thought provoking moves that happen after good rests. Once you see blonde rock, move left of the bolt line to grab left handed sidepulls for damn near the whole climb. Stay cool when you encounter a well-bolted, bulgy crux in the top three fourths of the route that requires power and just enough bravery to keep it real.Gain the anchors using the dragon teeth holds and don't be afraid to reach as high as you can, make a high step, and clip the anchors at your chest. The moves and holds are all there. You will definitively want to milk this one for all its worth.

Yet another 5.13 I need to climb and you should too...Killer climbing on tiny holds. Short and stout.

Think 11b in Spearfish Canyon is a cakewalk? Think again, Holmes! This little beauty has the business right at the beginning. It will make you pay for your inability to read a route correctly. The crux in the middle is even more technical and the crux at the end is burly.

You didn't choose this line...it chose you.A monster of a route with sick holds and more stout moves than a bowl of jello-shots. TECHNICAL! SMALL HOLDS THAT NEED TO BE GRABBED JUST RIGHT!Technical crux after tasty technical crux leads up to a "reach for the moon, and bring it back to earth" move that will send you on a wild ride to stardom if you fail to stick it just right.

Super thin holds and a dawg eat dawg crux. Highly recommended if you climb the grade. Get your paws on it and feel the burn!

Starts on jugs with stout moves to monos that you actually want to use! Find sidepulls, crimpers, HUGE SAVIOR pockets to more super-positive crimps and majestic monos.EACH MOVE IS SPECTACULAR! Every move is big and leads to sick holds and slammin' sequences. The pump is pure euphoria! YOU WILL FEEL LIKE A ROCK STAR!Hardest crux is at the very end on overhung terrain to jugs that are going to be a heart breaker for those trying to red point.

Starts with small pockets that get increasingly bigger and bigger. Go from overhung to slabby! Crux requires more beta than strength. A good beginner climb for those who want to experience a hard start with a mellow finish...yet still retains the qualities of a burly, pumpy warm-up for more advanced climbers who like big holds between big moves.

 A short, stout version of every other climb at The Slim Shady Area!

Deep within the bowels of the northen slopes between the Darkside and the Shadowlands lies Spearfish Canyon's only triple platinum selling area.And if triple platinum means that only three people go there during any given year, then this place is gold, baby! This might soon change due to an explosion of new development that took place in the winters of 2012 and 2013. For years and years The Slim Shady Pillar stood alone. But now a second and third wave of development has created a plethora of new climbs ranging from fun moderates to uber-challenging 5.13 test pieces.The hellacious hike is worth it. This area boasts long climbs with stout technique and powerful moves.
