Two possible cruxes for this route.  The middle is between bolt 3 and 4 and up higher the pump factor and use of underclings exposes those with weak endurance.  The sustained nature of this climb makes it feel harder than Firewater.  Bees!

Wounded Knee

Sweat Lodge

Firewater

Big Medicine

Spinal Tap

Six Little Indians

Dwight's White Christmas (a.k.a. The Brit Route)

I think this is the easiest route on the wall although Wounded Knee is rated lower.  Crux is low above the 2nd bolt.  Look for the many rests and plan to fight the pump up at the finish.  Watch for the Killer Bee hive to your left.

Sweat Lodge is arguably the best 5.11 on the Rosebud Wall, with great rock, interesting moves, and relatively sustained difficulty (and anchors at the lip!).  The route begins easily and gets steadily harder as you ascend, with some cool roofs with big jugs. Shorter folks will have trouble at the second roof, making a long reach to a V-slot with the left hand from the white-with-bird-poo undercling jug.  Its possible to get a kneebar right before the end, which is nice since the final moves to the chains are pumpy. This route has a great finishing jug, unlike some routes at Sitting Bull.

Big Medicine is the most challending line on the Rosebud Wall, rising straight up below the jutting gray prow that looms over the center of the cliff.  This one is markedly more difficult than Sweat Lodge.  The route begins very easily with big jugs on the slab.  As the wall steepens, the difficulty increases, surmounting a series of bulges to some funky gastons and underclings that deliver you to an arm thread just below the lip of the wall.  Rest well here as the finish is the real crux.  Small, non-positive holds and technical moves lead over the bulge and onto the unnerving gray slab, where a few more insecure moves must be made to reach the anchor.

Not climbed very often, some loose stuff on the route so use caution.  Typical Sitting Bull Jugs.

Easy start up into a sustained section all the way till you reach the chains.  Fighting the pump is the real work.

I have never seen anyone climb this route, nor have I heard anyone mention seeing anyone on it.  The killer bee hive to it's right, use caution while climbing.  Anyone speak up if you know more.

The upper wall with only seven routes.  Warm up area for those strong enough for the Big Horn Wall.  Shade is always prevalent.  Killer Bees on the left, don't get swarmed.  If anyone gets stung, run far and fast.  Bees inject you with a pheremone that marks you as a target for the rest of the bees to attack.
