Description Suggest change

OK, here it is! One of Devils Lake best bouldering areas. This is not the largest area, but the problems here are classic and super fun. Well worth the hike for anyone who wants to get schooled by some of the best Devils Lake has to offer.

Enjoy this beautiful and amazing Devils Lake bouldering area.

Problems are sorted as you walk in, with the outer cliff band first and then the two free standing boulders in the middle last.
