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.
Getting There
Start with directions for West Side. Upon reaching the barrier boulders turn South and follow the Indian Mound trail to its intersection with the Lime-Kiln Trail. This intersection will be made obvious by the area's namesake stairway leading to the base of the cliff.
Just North of the stairway lies small buttress with some quality climbing, and just to the South a freestanding tower supplies some excellent climbing as well.
