This is a cruiser line of pockets leading up a beautiful chunk of rock to a big reach at the high crux that finishes on edges and ledges.

Hang Em' High

Starts in the middle of the wall down low.  Stick clip the first bolts.  Start pulling on some good pockets up to a long reach where you will find some goods holds.  After some pristine pocket climbing, you will enter the "top" crux, which consists of shallow pockets and adjusting the feet to make a long reach to a good left hand, which has been known to crunch the left index finger.  Then you have one more long move to a right hand slot.  I recommend skipping the bolt that is at the left hand.  It tends to be difficult to clip and the ride is clean.  Besides, this will make the last hard move more committing.  Top out to a large ledge with anchors.  This is one of the best routes in the entire canyon, and possibly in the whole universe.

Start on a ledge that is just to the left of the second bolt on Battlecry.  Start pulling on a small sidepull and then continue up making long moves.  The climbing is technical, offering ledges and shallow pockets.  You will come to an awkward sidepull/pinch and some good feet.  After this intial cruxy move you will encounter a left-hand mono.  Pull off the mono and either go to a big right hand or use the small intermediate before.  At this point, you can either top it out the same as Battlecry moving right, or I have been told by Spearfish elders you can move straight left using the the Last of the Mohicans holds.  This route is very, very good.

This is an excellent link up which has 4 distinct cruxes. Start out left on The Scalp and climb up through the crux (do not clip bolt) and exit right crossing through on two finger pockets. Now you're on last dance, clip one bolt and climb up into the crux. Match the crimp rail after the block pinch (do not clip this bolt)and traverse right into Teepee. Finish it up on Teepee Creeper. Awesome movement! SACK UP!

Climb a mellow slab for 3 bolts to the steeper black headwall. Fire a little crux, followed by sustained technical climbing to the anchor.    Just as good as Last Dance and Teepee Creeper!   Ain't over till its over!

Rock your way up a swath of pockets and ledges on blonde rock. Enjoy the crushing decibels of pulling multiple roofs. The best thing about this route is when most routes stop at ten this one goes all the way to eleven.

Thin reachy crux in the middle that clocked in around V4.  Not too bad otherwise.

Start by climbing the widely spaced pockets up the tan rock toward a small shelf. The beginning can feel a bit scary the first time up, since the climbing goes back and forth a bit and there isn't a ton of bolts. At around bolt #4 or so, the good pockets give way to small edges that lead up to the bomber black rock that has the route's crimper crux and the exciting finish.    The last four bolts of this route are amazing (in my humble opinion). This was the last route I put in before moving to Salt Lake, hence the name.

Perfect pockets and jugs watch out for nesting birds.

Exposed climbing following the arete. Good holds most of the way 

Stick the 1st and get after it to the 3rd. Cool dihedral climbing takes you out right to a good rest. Pull the steep block on a great heel. Feel the Power! Pumpy rest before the black head wall. Quality

This route is different from anything else on the wall. A deceiving field of popcorn textured pockets in the first half binds you to the gibbet and a series of sidepulls at a bulge in the second half mercilessly executes the hangin'.

Orphans of War is a crescendo of interesting pockets and hard to see feet that leads to a finale of edges and a big jug at the end. Well placed bolts make for easy clipping and fun rides on this slightly overhanging wall.

Crux is at the top where the holds aren't as good.  Watch out for poison ivy.

by comparison to Indian wars wall this is a slab.   Good clips and a crux is Mid tophalf on perfect clean   black rock,with sequential wild pinches and cool rad moves.

With 10 bolts to clip this is one of the longer and more technical routes at the Indian Wars Wall. 

  This route is often overlooked but well worth spending some time on. Has been known to leave many a visiting climber, and local alike, hanging around wondering just what they are doing wrong. 

  Get on it! Get found guilty of being too over-confident and get a good lesson in what it means to climb at Spearfish Canyon.

Beautiful Streaked wall, slightly overhung.  Pockets, slots, monos, and jugs!  Perfect Routes.  Thanks to all who developed this area!!!
