Perhaps Cleo's 1st Ascent? This was "borrowed" from the Wisconsin State Historical society site. Taken by H.H. Bennett perhaps around the turn of the century?

Somewhere in southern Wisconsin...

No. Not in Wisconsin. Summit Shot of Wisco Climbers Pat Geoghegan and myself on Crazy Peak in Montana. Crazy (11,209) is the high point in the Crazies and the most "prominant" in Montana.

Van Hise Rock<br>
<br>
Located near Rock Springs, Van Hise Rock is named after renowned UW geologist Charles Van Hise. Van Hise used this boulder in the 1890's to demonstrate concepts in metamorphic and structural geology to his students.<br>
<br>
Learned geologists and geographers from the University of Wisconsin used the Baraboo Range for decades to formulate theories in mountain building epochs.<br>

Sunken Ship Rock - on the right as you walk in on the "trail" - potential for high ball boulder problems.
