"This spot is ideal ice climbing in the winter. But for those less adventurous souls, it is sublime to simply view it any time of year. Also, make it a daily double by heading up the road two miles to also visit Roughlock Falls" ~ Rapid City Journal

"Bridalveil is a perfect first lead, especially since there really isn't a good way to toprope this climb. Wait until it has been cold for awhile before doing this climb - there is a lot of volume here and it takes a while to freeze solid enough to be safe to lead" ~ Mountain Project
"Spearfish Canyon is a great place to get out on the ice. Bridal Veil falls is a great place to warm up as it is the tallest of the bunch and is less then vertical most the time. Eleventh Hour Gulch is an awesome top rope site." ~ Black Hills & Badlands
