The Itch

FA: unknown
Wisconsin > Baraboo Range > Devil's Lake > E Bluff 03 - W… > Poison Ivy Wall

Description

Pleasant climbing up this wide crack or small chimney. Wider and blocky at the bottom, and narrower near the top. It's a little narrow to climb it as a chimney except maybe at the very bottom, but there are plenty of good holds on the outside corners of the crack/chimney.

This is #14 in Swartling/Mayer's book.

Location

About 20 ft. left of the white quartz near the eastern end of Poison Ivy Wall.

This wall is not quite all the way to the east end of Poison Ivy. Notice the 3x6 ft hole in the wall that "The Scratch" passes over.
