FA: unknown
Wisconsin > Baraboo Range > Devil's Lake > E Bluff 02 - E… > 10. Siamese Buttress

Description

A good route, in three distinct parts.  The lower face is juggy, but not without a puzzle.  Above the first ledge is a gorgeous crack (with an old fixed nut).  Above the second ledge is a face.  Go left for 5.8, right to the corner for 5.9.  Straight up the middle looks challenging!

Location

Left of the gully splitting the twin buttresses, left of the boulder below "West Siam" and "Sven Golly", and left of the easy route through the pine gully is a juggy face.  Start here

Protection

As described in Swartling & Mayer, not much on the bottom and top sections, but great gear in the middle section.
