Description
A heavy weight crag made from gorgeous, yellow limestone located right next door to The Donut Shop and across the valley from Bob's Buttress. This area, and the associated crags surrounding it, are relatively new additions to Spearfish Canyon and will not have a lot of information about them in any of the available guidebooks.
The Big Leblondski is an advanced intermediate level crag that boasts long, pumpy routes with monster roof pulls and a rug that ties the room together.
The Big Leblondski Wall is located just to the left of another really cool crag known as The Donut Shop. For information about this associated crag click on the link to the right mountainproject.com/v/the-d…
