JJ discussing business with the Godfather.


Description 

The most classic line in the park. This is a tall, steep problem with a series of side pull and gaston pockets. The movement flows well with a wide selection of footholds and positive handholds while steadily growing harder until the lip which sports a rather thoughtful mantle. It aint over until your standing up...


Protection 

It is high and the landing slopes. Several pads are nice.

This is an excellent problem. One of my new Wisconsin favorites.

FYI to Jeremy S. thanks for the work on this boulder. I believe i am the first accentionist in recent years, september 2006. Doesn't matter to me too much. I try to remain behind the scene. Other routes in that area i've done also, they are unnamed but good quality. The names placed on the boulder, the routes are good and no need to change them! Let us all enjoy the little gems scattered across our state.

I think Paul Jones may have done this problem as early as 1996 or 7. I remember him telling me about it.

I cleaned this boulder in 1989 and did the godfather the same day. I remember doing 5 or 6 problems on this boulder. I told Eric Z and John Sherman about it and they sent it on there stone crusade tour.
