From Rapid City, follow Nemo Road NW out of town. After about 14 miles from the edge of town (intersection with Berry Pines Road), Steamboat Rock recreation area is seen on the right. Either park here, or there is a small blocked off dirt road on the other side of the road to park at. You can also get here by taking highway 44 out of Rapid City, then cutting over to Nemo Road from Norris Peak Road.
Hike south up this road, then shortly after take a left on a faint road. Follow this road as it parallels the rocks that are just to the left. Take a left at the hill crest and walk for a minute or so to the main area.
Cleaning up the climbing area, including removal of grafitti from the rock face.

Mission Statement
We are a local climbing organization working primarily to keep climbing areas open, conserve the climbing environment, and promote responsible climbing at the local and regional level.
Description
The BHCC was formed in the early 1990's around the same time that the Access Fund was taking shape. Like the Access Fund, the BHCC was a response to land managers' growing awareness of rock climbing and its impact on the public lands they manage. Often climbers fail to realize how easy it is for governmental land managers to deny access to rock climbing. The BHCC has given climbers a voice in many land manager issues concerning Black Hills climbing access. We continue to work to ensure that climbers have access on the local public land and enjoy a great working relationship with Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore National Monument, Black Hills National Forest (including the Norbeck and Black Elk Wilderness Area), and Devils Tower National Monument managers.
