The top-notch limestone routes in Spearfish Canyon show classic pocket climbing at its best. In fact, Spearfish Canyon has been featured in national climbing magazines as a great up-and-coming sport crag for its well-pocketed routes and overhangs.
Both experienced and novice rock climbers can enjoy nearly year-round climbing on vertical routes like Oliver Twist, The Wall of Oz and Sunshine Wall.
The canyon’s climbing excitement lasts year-round. The area’s icy waterfalls and frozen canyon walls also attract ice climbers in the heart of winter.
