The OG Eastern Wall

S Dakota > Needles Of Rush… > Elkhorn Mountain > OG

Description

This rock within The OG area is the eastern most formation of the ridge chain. It contains a collection of routes from 5.6 to 5.10. A small rack comes in handy as several of the excellent lines require a little gear.  Most of the routes are on the left half of the southern sunny face which makes it an excellent cool weather spot.  45F and sunny can be perfect.   Shade rolls in at about 5:30pm in the summer months.  Many of the routes on this wall can be top-roped but the achors are precariously over the edge.  There is a single courtesy bolt that can be used to rope down to the achors of the The Business, The Spine, and Gilbert.  Use it at your own discretion.  See the primary description for more information.  We are planning around 2 more lines on the East Wall formation.
