Description
This is THE destination in La Crosse. Most all the routes on this wall would be classic at any larger crag like Barn Bluff. Currently there are 9 bolted lines here, with maybe 1 more in the making. The cliff is about 55 feet tall and overhangs by about 4 feet on many of the routes.
Getting There
To access the wall Park at the second to last pullout, and hike west and down along the powerline cut. Follow the trail straight for about 400yards, turn right towards the flag just after a large rock step. As always when on grandads keep a low profile, carry all gear concealed in a bag, and be safe. Tickets for climbing or hiking are almost 200$ .
Not a standard route for the wall... as in not sustained. Well defined crux at the small roof (15 foot mark) featuring double, wide horizontal pinches and a stab to a decent hold. Great 5.11 climbing to the anchors....[more]
The Meader Wall is one of the best sport crags in the state. It is small, but the routes there are hard and super fun. I'm grateful to have grown up with this as my home wall.
Dave, Steve, and Fred have done an incredible job developing the whole area. They have recently practically excavated the Adidas Wall and put up 7 cool sport routes on it. Hats off to you guys.
Two new routes have been drilled, and bolted. New routes are: Big Man on Campus at probably 5.12- with a bouldery feel Man in the Black Pajamas very likely 5.13a featuring thin sustained crimping to a powerful crux stab.
