Description Stand start on right low crimp and high left pinch/sidepull. The meat of the route comes next with intricate footwork leading you into a very slopey right leaning rail. Continue to apex of rail and top out directly. (hint: the lip right above you is bomber)
Location Between battle of the bulge and trail crew. (Its sqeezed in there, but suprisingly isnt an eliminate)

| Very cool problem and I agree that it doesn't feel squeezed in at all. Definitely recommend that people get on it. Do I dare give it a positive star rating to encourage others even though I didn't send??... |

| No star rating for you! Next! |

| Glad to see the grade finally get updated on this thing. Melin you are a sandbagger and I love/hate you for it |

| Ryan let me know if/when you want to go work this thing. It's hard! I think I have some decent beta that *may* make it go. I swear I've spent more time on this problem than anything I've done (or not yet done). |

| Sandbag indeed. After sampling some of the lakes hard routes I realized I may have underestimated this one. Enough of a bump up? |

| Time will tell (maybe?). |

| Yeah I'd love to get back on it. I was planning on either going to the lake or the dodge this weekend, what are your plans? I've probably spent more time on this than any other 5 or 6 at the dodge. I'd say hard 6 is probably fair. Also I think at some point I used a thumb press which is ridiculous so I probably need new beta... |

| I was thinking about going to the "May Day South Bluff Bouldering" thing. There was a thread on here about it but I haven't heard anything more about it. If that doesn't happen I would be down to hit POS (I love how "Product of the Southwest" can also be called a "POS") or anything at the Lake. |

| Finally figured out some better beta today that allows me to match on the slopey rail, but still stuck after that! Damn. Travis this thing is STILL sandbagged! |

| Yup, got it's second ascent by Pi from MN, confirmed at V6. |

| I heart-breakingly punted off the finishing ledges on this, it reminded me that bringing a rope to scrub up rarely done problems at this area is a good idea. Might seem reachy but there are plenty of foot options for the shorter folk. Also, grabbing the sloper in a particular way helped immensely. |

| And Rhoads with the (likely) 3rd ascent today. Nice work man! This shit is hard! |
By TravisMelin From: Roanoke, VA La Crosse, WI Jun 19, 2012
| Rhoads sent? So its more like a V5 then? |
By Trad Nanny Jun 19, 2012 rating: V4+
| Couldn't be harder than V4+ at worst if I have done it. |
By Chris treggE Administrator From: Madison, WI Jun 19, 2012
| It's V4. Wisconsin defintely has nothing harder than V4. |
