FA: Doug Lintz 2005
S Dakota > E Side SD > Palisades SP > Palisades SP Bo… > Bridge Boulder

Description

Solid fun boulder climb. Another Palisades Classic. Start on the two obvious jugs under the arete, heelhook and reach a bad left hand sloper. Crux is a deadpoint for the lip.

Location

On the corner between dirt and puppy love.

[Hide Comment] I did this one in '05. I was scared that I'd fall from the top, land on my pad and slide right down into the water. Good stuff. Jan 4, 2011

[Hide Comment] When you first try the crux, it does seem like you could slide into the river after a fall, but after taking multiple falls I can assure you that the landing is totally safe. Feb 15, 2011
