Kyle Rott Celebration of Life

---

On Monday, December 4th the South Dakota Outdoor Shop will be hosting a celebration of life event for Kyle Rott, an avid climber who dedicated a lot of his time to climbing in the Black Hills of South Dakota and across North America. Kyle passed away on November 25th, 2023 in an ice climbing accident in Hyalite Canyon near Bozeman, Montana.

The casual gathering will begin at 6:00pm MST and will serve as a welcoming space for individuals to come together and socialize, share experiences & memories, and most importantly unite as a supportive community.

Please consider bringing shareable snacks. The South Dakota Outdoor Shop will be donating a keg to the event, and other beverages will be available for purchase.

If anyone would like to bring any memorabilia to display and share please do so. The South Dakota Outdoor Shop is working towards creating a space for stories and history regarding Black Hills climbing, and a portion of the space will be dedicated for Kyle. If individuals feel inclined to have memorabilia on display at the shop after the event, please consider leaving it.
