Description
Mostly shady except in the mornings. It is brand new and is just outside of Irvington, WI.
As of now, there is only top roping with two developed routes.
The rock is sand stone and is not up to par with Necedah's quality. It is not crumbly but it is one of the more dirtier climbing areas that I have ever been too. There is a bar at the beginning of the trail to the bluffs.
Approach the bluffs from the top and rap down from main anchors. After climb out and set up a top managed system for the rest of the group.
A super-must-do classic would be "The Captain" 5.11- finger crack to off width roof.

Getting There
Take I-94 to Menomonie, WI. Go South on Hwy 25 out of town to Hwy D. Make a right and follow until you reach Irvington. Go past the one bar and turn left on 420th street. Follow until you reach a pull off on the left side underneath big power lines. Roughly 600 yards. Then park and follow trail to the big power line pole and go down the bluff to a rope anchor. Good luck The bluffs are public land owned by the WI DNR.
