Glazed and Confused

Crawl your way up a sick, blue streak. You will more than likely be cussing the whole damned way up. Way overhung with way small holds.

If you are a pot-bellied climber, who just got the righteous onsight send of Totally Flaked, then you might want to seek out this tasty limestone treat for your next big thrill. The beginning moves get your attention and the rest of the climbing is a combination of perfect crimps, pockets and wicked layback moves. There are no bad holds, just bad carbs. With this climb the biggest failure factor might be correlated to the amount of flab you carried up here with you thanks to all those sweets you've ingested lately. This fitnessy climb might convince you to do more sit-ups and join Weight Watchers.    GET ON IT!

Climb the overhung blonde rock to a gap-like chasm and huck your way to the anchors.

If there was room for one more route on The Last of the Mohicans Wall, it would be this one. This black and cream colored route has perfect small pockets, crimps that you actually want to pull on and the picture-perfect definition of tiny five twelve sidepull crimps through a crux that is utterly amazing. The crux is not over until you've mastered a series of sweet moves that requires a crucial gastone and an intact pancreas. Pull on big cool down holds to the anchors and feel the sugar rush. THIS ONE IS NOT TO BE MISSED IF YOU CLIMB THE GRADE!

A absolute must do for the grade! The only Spearfish Canyon climbs I can think of that might be better for the grade are Indecent Exposure and Concracktion. A wicked-fun start challenges your sticky fingers and the moves only get better from there. Perfect pockets and cutting edge crimps lead to a long blade of rock that sports scrumptious sidepulls and layback moves galore. Those that don't onsight better yank that rope and keep pulling down until the glorious, gooey red point puts a smile on their face.

For those struggling with the five ten plus region of Spearfish Canyon, here is yet another struggle for you to enjoy. A decent start leads to a really fun feature that can be wrestled into submission with layback moves. Tenuous moves on tiny holds lead to big holds on a slab that fights back all the way to the anchors.

A really great warm-up that gets a bit tough and technical at the top. A fairly low-angle slabby start leads to steep black bulges with tasty technical climbing and fancy footwork. WORTH DOING!

A superb summer and fall crag with a stout approach hike that clocks in at nearly an hour. The Donut Shop has a handful of really good routes with potential for many more exciting and tasty lines. Climbers, who are hungry for adventurous sport climbing, will get a chance to snack on a mixture of steep, bulgy slab climbing and blonde power endurance pocket fests. The routes are fairly long and located on bullet-proof black and yellow rock that sports really good holds. Expect to hike mostly in the sun through a mind-blowing, National Geographic-like nature setting. After getting an advanced cardiovascular workout, get ready for an all day feast of fabulous cragging. The climbing is completely shady after 10 am and cool with the best conditions being in the fall when the leaves just start to turn colors.
