Gibraltar Rock
Unfortunately, I can’t claim much knowledge about the bolted sandstone climbing at Gibraltar Rock near Devil’s Lake, WI. In fact, it took me several years before I even realized how close it was to the Lake. How could this be you ask? I thought The Narc was a walking encyclopedia of climbing information on all areas of importance? True, of course. However I like to focus on areas that have been open to climbing at least 1 day during my climbing career, and sadly that cannot be said about Gibraltar. Hopefully, this fact could be changing in the near future.

From Zero To 5.14 In 5 Months
Less than 5 full months since fracturing his heel while attempting Mandala SDS (V14) in Bishop, and about 1 month since taking his first steps outside of his cast, Ethan Pringle sent a 5.14 this past weekend. He sent Beach Arete at Mickey’s Beach in California that apparently goes at 5.14a without using any chipped holds. Nice work Ethan!
