Beautiful crack towards the left/North side of the Dune cliff band.

Beautiful line directly up the pocketed face

Pretty fun little route! Climb up on little sharp edges and the crux is around the 3rd bolt.

Climb the hands to off-width crack past a rounded ledge then continue up a layback crack.

This is a relitively unvisited and undeveloped series of short routes on sandstone cliffs, about 8-10 miles out of Rapid City on Norris Peak Road.  Only 2-3 of the routes are bolted, but there are 20+ sets of anchors along the top of the cliffs.  Trad gear could be used on many routes, but might be unstable because most of the routes are not "clean" (i.e.: moss or loose rock).  This area has a lot of potential, however, and offers a little of everything; cracks, faces, and even a cool roof to pull on.
