Access Issue: Stick Clipping Is Highly Recommended Details

While all routes have been thoughtfully bolted, many lines contain a high first bolt. So, the local ethic is to stick clip the first bolt, and eliminate ground falls.

Description

A massive, overhung amphitheater is left of the Devils Standtable. The routes that are here are very unique and offer a different feel to Giant City State Park Climbing.

Getting There

Hike up the main trail from the parking lot and continue to the right one you reach the cliffline. The trail continues along the bluff, then goes downhill to the amphitheater.
