Description Short stout and green. This is the middle route on the wall. The dihedral and boulder to the right are off. Use just the right feet and a very long reach to setup for the subtle sloper match before the second bolt. Get a quick shake and release your inner hulk to surpass the boulder problem guarding the anchors.
Unfortunately there is a drilled three finger pocket to the right of the third bolt. It can be avoided with a very long reach. It does not offer much purchase for those of us with fat fingers.
Protection 3 bolts to chains

| Not sure about the grade - may only be 12+. Very height dependent with a crux sloper match. May feel better on a crisp fall day or with better beta. Tougher than SAM and felt substantially harder than barely there.
Made a solo trip out last week and spent about two hours brushing. It is currently chalked and clean. Hop on it! |

| I wonder who bolted this? The sharp arete to the right is next? |

| I'm more curious about who (and why) drilled the three finger pocket. The route goes without it and the harder moves are still below the second. The sharp arete looks fun! |

| I couldn't finish the route way back when. Needed a bunch of scrubbing. I left an old Petzl Spirit on it hopefully it has a new safe home? |

| Yep, at the anchors with one of my biners for easy cleaning. |

| Hey Chris, a handful of the original lines here were put up by a small group of ethically confused folks back when sport climbing was a very new thing in Wisconsin. I've forgotten the names, but Dave G told me the whole story a long time back. Are you going to fill it? |

| Hey Chris, I have heard all sorts of debates about filling in drilled pockets over the years. I've heard of pockets being drilled, filled, and redrilled twice over.... Personally, I have only altered one established route in my career, though I didn't know it had been done at the time. I tend not to mess with other peoples lines, whether I agree with them or not. I think ultimately it depends on what the community wants to do, if they care at all. Maybe these comments will be enough to fish out a few more. When I think of Wisconsin climbing though, drilled pockets is the last thing that comes to mind, and I hope that doesn't change. |
