Quick On The Draw X

Quick On The Draw X

Posted January 26, 2009 at 8:50 am · Comments { 1 } ·

On Saturday a record crowd descended on my local gym, Adventure Rock, for the 10th Annual Quick On The Draw competition.  I have had the pleasure of attending the last 9 QotD’s and they are always a good time with this year being no exception. Afraid of getting shown up by a bunch of climbers in […]

Old Devil’s Lake Bouldering Photos: The Keymaker (V11?)

Old Devil’s Lake Bouldering Photos: The Keymaker (V11?)

Not all the bouldering on the West Bluff at Devil’s Lake is spread out and hard to find. A short hike down the tumbled rocks trail followed by a brief foray in to the talus will bring you to the boulder that is home to Wisconsin’s (likely) hardest problem, The Keymaker.

When we were moving last year, I was very psyched to stumble across a series of pictures from the spring of 2003 I didn’t remember taking.  Among the pile were several pictures of the bouldering in the talus at the base of Devil’s Lake’s West Bluff.  While the bouldering along the West Bluff is less […]

Nameless Arete

Nameless Arete

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…

Extremist’s Guide To Devil’s Lake New Climbs

Any climber that has spent time on the quartzite cliffs at Devil’s Lake State Park knows that it has a rich and colorful history.  Legends like Fritz Wiessner, John Gill and Pete Cleveland all spent time there back in the day, and there is a lot of interesting history behind many of the routes.  I […]

Sandstone Violence

Sandstone Violence

Posted December 1, 2008 at 10:35 am · Comments { 12 } ·

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 […]
