Access Issue: Parts of High Cliff are included in the DNR's State Natural Area program so please respect that and do not climb with ropes in areas that are signed as State Natural Areas. BOULDERING IS ALLOWED EVERYWHERE. Details

See dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/sta… and click on the maps tab. The PDF map will give you the overview, but is not very detailed. Use the DNR's mapping app and zoom in for more detail.

Description

Original Start: Stand start, left hand up high, right hand mid height.

Sit Start: Start on two good crimpers, move up the arete and then mantle over the right side of the Bee's Bottom bulge.

Location

Follow the trail past Black Pearl, take a left at the intersection. Walk down that path for about a hundred feet. The boulder is on the right most face of the small cliff.
