Boxelder Forks

Boxelder Forks is a climbing area with about 20+ crack climbs. Many are very splitter and up to 100 feet in lenght. there have been no bolts or anchors on top of the routes as there are easy gear anchors, trees, or you can just walk off at the top. Many cracks go from fingers to offwidth so therefore take a wide selection of gear. Many have been cleaned of the major loose rocks, but use caution as they have not seen a lot of traffic. Most routes are in the 5.8 to 5.10 range and feature crack climbing where at times the most efficient way to climb them is with both hands and feet in the crack which seems to be a rarity in the South Dakota Black Hills.
