I will be in the Black Hills area first week of Aug and am looking for a partner knowledgable with the area. I will bring shoes and harness but no gear(not enough room on the bike). Bouldering preferred but if you have gear and know the goods, lets hook up In return: I live in Canon City, CO and will offer room and board to you when ever you get down this way. Plus guide service to local climbing and foosball(if you dare). sfmedic

Hey Andrew. I won't be there during biker week, but there are a couple of climbing shops in Rapid City and Spearfish that will have locals that can hook you up with partners. If bouldering is your keen interest, you HAVE TO go to Old Baldy, behind Mt. Rushmore. Some people will tell you that The Maze is the best, but it's not! Old Baldy is killer! Check out: www.climbingblackhills.com for any local info. Have fun!

Hey man... climbjs is right on... the bouldering around Mt. Baldy (Old Baldy) has been heavily developed as of the past few years, and there are some killer problems, including a cool crack highball that's rated as a 5.11b climb, but i've seen boulders solo it... sick! if you're out here for the week, don't count out the Rock Maze... it's a cool place and has its own atmospere for bouldering... but Baldy will have to be your first hit! best, -brad
