I would like to take a moment to discuss an uncomfortable subject for me. Not injuries, not impulsive behavior, not even climbing obsession. No, I am talking about the dreaded dab.

I had the day off today so I decided to go and do some exploring up at one of the only crags here in Wisconsin. This of course meant a trip to Devil’s Lake State Park. I will be the first to admit that I (and many others) spend a lot of my time pissing […]

I was going to take the time and put something together on this route Whiskey A Go-Go (5.13a) today to showcase one of the most classic hard lines anywhere that also happens to reside in Wisconsin.
