A couple buddies and I we at Devils lake yesterday Saturday april 9th along the east bluff. I think we were in or by the balanced rock area. We walked the east bluff trail from the north side of the lake did a couple easy small climbs and we ended our day here, I have a picture from the top and a picture from the bottom I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the climb and its rating it was a super easy maybe 50-55' climb the right side has a tree about little more than half way up and the left side has 2 nice ledges. I have the guide book but we cannot figure it out. Any suggestions on what it could be and the rating
More I look at the guide book I believe we may have been slightly north of balanced rock. On the east bluff trail heading south from the north we came across a sign that said u are here and the trail goes right towards balanced rock and left towards Devils doorway, we went to the right and walked through the woods for about a quarter mile where you could not see the lake and we ended up here. I think we ended up around where I circled in red

I walked past this climb today. I don't think it is described in the guide book or on Mountain Project. Your climb is located near the top of the bluff. Your top anchor was actually not far from the East Bluff Trail. Your climb is roughly between and uphill from the Horse Rampart area and Squirrels Nest Tower area - 2 climbing areas that are about midway up the bluff.
My GPS coordinates from your top anchor are: N 43 degrees 24.969' W 89 degrees 43.500'
Yeah that's awesome. We were defiantly on top and right off the trail. Have you tried climbing it and if so what would you have rated it. Gotta be something pretty low it was super easy until tree height even then just had to think about it. Thanks a lot this weekend we were gunna hike up to it with the handheld gps to try and figure it out and bam did it for us

No I did not climb it. I was exploring Horse Rampart and Squirrels Nest which are nearby and just happened to see yours.
