Evans is guarded by bruising hikes above 10,000 feet. This of course means another season spent discussing the issue of pad stashing.

On Saturday, July 5th Wisconsin climber Jay Knower will be giving a slideshow at Wheeler’s campground near Devil’s Lake State Park.  Among other things, Jay is known for being one of only a few Wisconsin climbers to have climbed 5.14.  As usual, I cannot make it.
