Description
Wisconsin is one of the cleanest and longest face climbs at the Y. The classic 5.10 at this crag. I've heard that, before there was sport climbing at White Rock, this was sort of THE one in the area that you had to do to be considered "a real climber". It starts just right of the cave.
Begin with a traverse to the right (or step off a cheater stone), then go up easy cracks to a slot. Figure out how to exit the slot and stand up onto a sloping ledge. Now you'll be wondering what to do. You might see the namesake Wisconsin feature, where the cracks whose outline resembles the state on a map. Good pro is available but might be considered a bit tricky. Above the flake, a little bit of easier but somewhat hard to protect climbing gains the top.
