Description 

Spray-painted walls, busted beer bottles, and cups strewn everywhere from the frequent underage drinking parties would keep most away from this La Crosse crag. However the local climber will find that there are several super classic lines here that would be a pity to pass up because of the mess. BEWARE - Any ledge under 8 feet up may very well have broken glass on it, large rope tarp is a must to avoid glass shards.


Getting There 

The first pull out after the Alpine Inn on the left. Park around the big oak tree, hike west up the road 10 feet, then cut left and down into to woods on a good trail. Approach takes about 5 min.

This route would be classic at any Wisconsin crag. Climb first 2 bolts to an OK rest, a couple crux lie back moves take you to the left and up on crimpers to a jug just below the anchors. The real tough guys clip off the ledge just above the anchors....[more]
