The Conch 5.11a SD : Spearfish Canyon : ... : Lord Of The Flies Wall
The Conch climbs up the pocketed right side of the Lord of the Flies wall. Great warm-up for the harder routes on this wall. Begin by pulling the small roof right off the ground and then follow big, widely spaced pockets up and left. The crux at mid-height is tricky (think undercling), and the top has claimed more than a few pumped climbers. Enjoy!...[more] Browse More Classics in SD
