Lady In Red

S Dakota > Spearfish Canyon > Mohican

Description

This area has four excellent routes including the quintessential jug-haul, Yippee-Kiy-Yay (5.10b). The climbing style ranges from the steep and powerful Legends of T (12a) to the very sequential Never Kiss a Sleeping Wolf (11d). All four routes feature excellent pocket-pulling.

Getting There

This is the first area you will see approaching the main trail at the base of the cliff. After reaching the T-intersection, head left for about 100 feet, go up a few stairs, and you will be at the base of the Lady in Red buttress. The base of Yippee-Kiy-Yay is down to the left.
