The start

What Up Weasel V8-  WI : Devil's Lake : ... : Smooth Operator Area
Start sitting underneath the steep prow with your left hand on the arete and your right on a smallish, but good edge. Hard move to the jug, some compression moves and trickery, and go up the face on good edges and slopers. A weasel skittered right by us as we were working the problem....[more]   Browse More Classics in WI

I found a little blue bag that looks like a chalk bag yesterday near Jenga. Says "Ruffwear" and has a picture of a dog on it. Might be a little water or food dish for a puppy? On the other hand, it could just be a chalk bag, I didn't open it up to see what was in it. Let me know if it's yours and I'll get it back to you.
