About Sunshine Wall:
The Sunshine Wall is a relatively new climbing area near The Thunderhead wall. There are routes all over these cliffs, and some routes are still working projects. BRING YOUR STICK CLIP! Almost every route here was designed for one, and not using it can be suicide. This place is great to climb at in the fall through spring, but, as the name implies, it gets HOT here in the summer. Like Falling Rock in the central Hills, wasps can be a little pesky in the summer as well. |
Nearest town or city: | Spearfish |
Directions: | From Spearfish, drive through Spearfish Canyon and turn right at Cheyenne Crossing (toward Newcastle). The Sunshine Wall parking area is the large pullout on the left about two miles up the road. Almost directly across the road find the trail leading up the steep hill and follow to the base of the wall. |
