Garbage Dump Overlook

S Dakota > Custer SP > Little Devils Tower T…

Description

Sun all day, Park in either the sylvan day use area or the Little Devils Tower Trailhead might be a little closer. If you park at Sylvan Lake Day use area Start at the #4 Trailhead and follow this for about 5-10 minutes you cannot miss this obvious spire with the crack running down it to your right. Very Obvious Spire next to trail. If you come in from Little Devils Tower Trailhead head towards Sylvan Lake (West) On Trail 4 for about 5-10 minutes and you can't miss this spire as you will approach it seeing the obvious crack. There is a new chain anchor on top as of 2017.

Getting There

Roughly 350 steps from parking lot on the left. Once you crest the small hill, head downhill for 50-60 feet, formation on left.

[Hide Comment] I believe that is known as Garbage Dump Overlook. I have climbed that a few times in the past. Kind of rotten rock up high? It's nice to know there are anchors on top now. Apr 27, 2017

[Hide Comment] The rock definitely isn't rotten at all, super solid. The west face is pretty chossy though. Apr 27, 2017
