attack!
the canyon answers his challenge
in the same vein

Due to its intense concentration of canyons, caves, buttes, granite crags, and volcanic geologic oddities, the granite peaks of the Black Hills in South Dakota provide the perfect staging ground for adventure-seekers. Along with spectacular hiking, biking, and off-roading, the Black Hills offer some of the country’s best rock climbing, including the Needles, a group of rock spires that provide traditional run-out face climbing.
