The so-called Nameless Arete (V4) at Governor Dodge is one of those problems that can be really frustrating. Based on its grade it shouldn’t be that hard (in the grand scheme of things). However, it requires a certain amount of subtlety and refinement of beta that can be hard to figure out. Especially for me…

Over the past month, as Fall conditions have finally arrived here in Wisconsin, I have been slowly working my way through some of the harder problems at Governor Dodge in an attempt to get some fitness back.  The end goal has been to repeat the classic problem Sandstone Violence (V8).  I have been wanting to [...]

My Dad often asks me why I don’t just use a ladder to get to the top of a boulder when I tell him about our various bouldering excursions.  That’s a valid question I suppose, but what he doesn’t understand is all the great aspects of climbing that go into a day at the boulders.  [...]

I think it is safe to say that 2008 has been an above average year for bouldering development in Wisconsin.  Websites like MountainProject have helped rekindle interest in bouldering at Governor Dodge, an area many people never really thought there was enough solid rock to climb on.  Many new climbs ranging from V0 to V9 [...]

Yesterday was another beautiful and atypically pleasant summer day here in Wisconsin.  Mrs. Narc and I had a good day bouldering out at Governor Dodge where we were able to do a couple more FA’s along with sampling some recent additions to the Dodge.

Last year I made a few trips to Governor Dodge State Park to check out some of the bouldering that I had heard was there.  I found a few good problems and a lot of suspect rock.  My remark to many people at the time when asked about the bouldering at “The Dodge” was that [...]

No One Gets Outta Here Alive (V2) is probably one of the best boulder problems at Governor Dodge State Park in Southwest Wisconsin. Check out these two sequences of photos featuring Nate & Tony climbing this gem.
