Great new extension off Total Recall to add to your spearfish tick-list and guidebook.Start by pulling a fingery V-whatever boulder problem past the first couple bolts. Some classic BPW pocket pulling will take you to a nice ledge for a no hands rest. Make sure you milk the rest and prepare yourself for the technical and desperate tugging through the last 2 bolts on classy black stone. For 'Total Recall' (5.12c) break left onto First Blood at TR's 8th bolt, as shown in Cronin's guide.

Starts on a bonkers-hard, bullet proof boulder problem that shuts down even the most competent of climbers. Enjoy improbable pocket pulling to a no hands rest on a ledge. Enjoy some better holds and bitchin' crux moves between the black and blonde streaks and then bail out left to First Blood's anchor if you only desire a mid 5.12+ experience. The extension of this route is known as "Totally Recalled" and goes at a stout 5.13a on beautiful black stone.

Stick clip first two bolts.  Great crux at bottom.  This route has been extended as of fall 2006.  The block that all the weak minded people used at the top is now gone.  You must stay on face and continue up the black face.

Nothing to do with Danny Zuko. Powerful in the first couple of moves leads to easier climbing, to a great rest. Crux is at the top. Grab the joke of a sidepull with your left and a bad right hand, throw up for a small but deep pocket and clip the anchor. Grease is the word.

One hard move gets you established onto this rig. Big pulls on good holds lead to the ledge. Things get techy after this and stays on you until the anchors. Great route. 

Fairly long for Spearfish with interesting movement makes this route one of the better ones in the canyon, though a few shared holds with Armageddon detract from it as it sits only 3 feet from it in spots.   Start in a slight overhang and as you peek over the bulge you'll be introduced to a blank orange patch of rock.  Look right to find some good pockets, hike the feet and make a big move to the next draw.  This is the hardest move, but likely not where you'll fall on the red point.  It may actually be harder for taller folks.    Grab a few good holds, then make your way into a double gaston move or a bitchin mono undercling.  Entering the black rock you'll find the crux, a hard-to-read sequence of crimps and terrible feet.

This is the extension to Armegedon on amazing black rock. After clipping the chains, rest up for this burly two bolt boulder problem. Solid for the grade.

Be prepared to be dazed...and confused...during a stony start, a meltdown of middle section, and a hard as hell enduro-fest of an ending. It is best to spark up before you chalk up for this one.

A great technical climb. good for someone working there way into 5.11, good jugs when you need them and monos on the crux and e few others here and there

The beginning is a bit tough but good climbing onto the left side

Strenuous start, followed by fun technical climbing.  Crux is right of last bolt - be ready to move around a bit and step high. 

  Gorillas in the Mist (13a) is the continuation with an additional three bolts beyond the first anchors.

At the beginning there is a lie back or stem in the corner/crack then there is a nice ledge to rest about third of the way up. Then use pockets and crack to get to the top

This route entices climbers with good pockets on beautiful stone, but something wicked guards the chains with a series of long moves in the middle of the wall.

The beginning is a little tricky, have to find the right holds because there small and balancy, the the rest of the climb is awesome.

This climb is balancy at the beginning and has good holds all the way up.

If you're looking for a little more after the technical .11+ warmup, you might as well take it up 3 more bolts of stellar, unique for the wall climbing.  

  Make sure to get a good rest at the mid anchor before entering a thin section that will take you to the badass barn-dooring dyno. Stick it and figure out how to slap your way up the mini left facing corner to the anchor.

Link between totally recalled, clockwork, and gorillas in the mist. Starts with a solid boulder problem and ends with another. Climb to hands free rest on totally recalled and trend right clipping two bolts in the crack section of clockwork and ending on the last two bolts on gorillas. Solid, even with the hands free rest.

  Stellar climbing on pockets and edges. There's a move out there that requires a little overdrive. Another MC classic.

a bunch of great climbs two 5.9s and anything from 5.10 to 5.12
