Description Suggest change

What would you say if I told you that perfect (albeit defaced) granite boulders standing 10-15 feet high existed in Wisconsin? You'd probably think I was crazy, but you'd be wrong. The Monico Boulders are this place.

Getting There Suggest change

Approximately one mile South of Old 26 on Highway 45, just South of Monico, WI. The main boulders lie on the West side of the highway.

Chippewa Blood V5/6. This is the sit start to Bloody Ankles which is V5 but didn't feel very hard to me so I'm not sure about the grade of this one. Whatever the grade it's a fun problem.
