Featured Route For Jesus Boulder
In the biz before the huck.

Cowboy Messiah V4 PG13  WI : Black River Falls : Jesus Boulder
One of the more unique problems in Wisconsin. Start by getting on the saddle-like boulder under the center of the boulder. Use toe hooks and core tension to establish one's self. A sick catch of a left rail and Big throw to the slopping lip brings you to the engaging mantle. There ain't much for holds, but the friction's off the charts!- super fun, git on it!...[more]   Browse More Classics in WI

Travis, this thing IS awesome. I have to say one of the best chunks of stone in the state. The direct looks like V6ish(let you know tomarrow!). But as far as missing it- its on the first fin of rock, most people only climb at the main area.

For the life of me, I cannot find this boulder...
I've been out a handful of times looking for it only to head back to the cube with nothing to report. Any help?

Travis, when you get to the saddle between the two rock outcrops (the part of the trail before you get to the stairs and the (east)end of the first outcrop is to your back) hang a left up and behind the large fin of rock and hike the top of the ridge (west) back toward the parking lot. The Jesus boulder is on the left of the trail and should leave you with only one thought, Jesus! Good luck.

This boulder is really impressive. The support boulder at the base takes a bit away from it, but you quickly forget about that once you climb higher up. Bring all the pads, it's taller than expected.
