Description This is the first route you will come across after passing the south end of the bluff.
Gain the first bolt after 15 ft of easy climbing. A longer draw on the first bolt will hang better. Climb the increasingly steepening face (slab-near vertical) right of the bolts using horizontal seams and face holds. The route finishes with an interesting lie-back/undercling move to gain ledges right of the anchors.

| "End" and "Curse" were both fun climbs, and the first time leader with me didn't think they were overbolted. Believe it or not, I had a great time just climbing instead of angrily calculating the # of bolts per ft...Thanks... |

| Had a winter adventure on the way up to do Wisconsin's High Point. Stopped here and did this climb. The crag was a little dirty, as to be expected from nobody climbing on it in a while, but none the less, was a good 1st climb of the day. Sandstone is so cold even when the sun bakes on it. |

| Nice fun start route. Took a group of kids down there this summer on a summer climbing and they all enjoyed it. |
