Description
This is on UW Platteville's campus.
Once you get up the hill into the clearing there are 3 walls from small, to med, to large, starting from the far right moving to the left. The rock can crumble if you pull too hard but most edges and pockets should be fine to pull on. I have not checked out to see if you can top rope but there are many trees at the top that you could anchor off. The big wall to the left is probably your best bet for bouldering and possible top rope; at least 5 routes could be done on it.

Getting There
If you are on the road near the rugby field you should be able to see it through the trees. If you head down to the water treatment plant, there is a creek and an old bridge. Cross the bridge and head up the left-side path to the clearing. It's a 5-min. hike or less. From there you will see the rock and choose what you want to climb.
