HEADS UP, CLIMBERS!
Mt. Rushmore is currently undergoing a prescribed burn, and things are a little too smoky for climbing right now. 🔥

For your safety (and to help out the crews doing the work), please avoid the area until at least the 28th. We’ll keep you posted if that changes!

These burns are an important part of keeping our forests healthy — thanks for helping keep the Hills safe and sustainable.

Follow the link below to learn more about the burn and any area closures: https://www.nps.gov/moru/index.htm

UPDATE: Due to rain in the forecast
Beans & Carabiners is SUNDAY August 31st

This community get together will take place in the South Seas ClimbIng Area.
Please bring a pot of chili, a side dish or dessert to celebrate our community!

This is a less structured event, so no ropes will be hung, no raffles, just getting together with our community.
A long standing Black Hills climbers tradition.

See you there!
