Climbing Near La Crosse, Wisconsin

A random collection of fallen rock and small exposed faces. The boulders and faces are scatterd about south of The Point. Go to The Point and head south to the miner's access point. (Clearly man made step down) Start exploring.

Small area with a nice quarried platform & four sport routes. This crag get shade in the evening & receives the most wind making it the best place to climb at Grandads in the humid warm months. Great views from the top, almost overlooks the city. Follow the cliff line all the way to the end of the bluff. The last descent looking band of rock is what your looking for.

Grandad Bluff City Park was opened for climbing in 2020 by changes to the City Ordinance and the addition of a hiking & biking trail system on the bluff. The city park host 50 plus bolted routes with glue-in bolts and established anchors to lower. Grades range from 5.6 to 5.13 and all sport bolted. Climbing access is permitted from the established trails and bottom-up, no top access for dropping top ropes is allowed. Six climbing areas can be accessed from the east wall to the south-facing wall via the bike trails. Meader Wall was established by Dave Groth in the early '90s. Adidas Wall & The Point were added by Arron Stetzer, Fred Skemp, Corey Morris, Steve Tucker, Nate Kutcher, and Travis Melin. The last few years saw the development of Georges Point & Quarry Wall adding more moderate routes. Please help remove trash and brush routes. Please use the established trails.  Up Bliss Road from town, take a right at the Alpine Inn, Grandads Bluff park and Grandmas gateway trail system can be found on google. The climbing area parking lot is the second lot back from the city overlook. A quick walk down the bike trail will allow access to the climbing areas below the parking lot.
