This summer, I'll be driving west from Virginia and staying at the Leigh Creek Campground June 19-23. I will have a guidebook with me but would really like to hear from some locals. What are some must-do single pitch classic sport moderates in the area? I max out at 5.11c on lead, so be gentle.

The bolts are so close in ten sleep your max grade doesn't matter. I second every climb mention. You really cant go wrong in ten sleep. I have just started picking walls and trying to climb them all no matter how many stars the route is. 

Bikini girls 11b 

Beer bong 10b

Thor 10a (This climb is a must. I do it every time I go to ten sleep) 

Jesus Christ super jew 11b (70 meter rope needed) 

Ice station zebra 5.9 with a second pitch that i think goes at 10a

Schools out 5.10d (massive roof with big moves on the biggest jugs) 

Every route on the back 40 wall 

B1 bomber 11a (sharp and fun)

Thanks guys, and don't worry...I'll be stopping off for a day in South Dakota on the way there and will let everyone know my humble opinion with the comparison. Looking forward to dolostone pockets!

IMO, Spearfish sucks, that Tensleep garbage is way better than spearfish.
