Description

The North Wall is becoming one of the best cliffs for moderates near Rapid City. Fun routes on great stone. Gets shade most of the day although you may deal with some sun if you get there early in the morning, especially around the summer solstice.

Getting There

Hike along the trail past the Main and Sniper Walls. Not long after, the trail will turn left and switchback up the hill and end at the North Wall. Please try to avoid continuing down the canyon from where the trail heads up the hill as you will soon be on private property.
