Climbing Near Necedah, Wisconsin

This is the crown jewel of Necedah. A Y-shaped crack splits the center of the wall (hence the name) and a few bolted routes exist on either side of the crack. The wall is completely sheer and overhangs at about 20 degrees. Hands down, there is no better cliff for hard climbing in south-central Wisconsin. To access the top, scramble up the north toe of the formation (fourth class), and around to the east side, also fourth class. It's worth noting that the routes between "A Dish to Pass" and "Death of a Salesman" are on The Tower. Walking up from the parking area, you will see a prominet tower and a steep cliff. This cliff is the Y-Crack Wall. You can't miss it.

Just north of the Y-Crack wall is a gap in the cliff. "303" is spray painted on the narrow south face. This is "Mr Canoehead". Two routes are currently established plus potential for more. Just north of the Y-Crack Wall. There is a two-bolt anchor on top of the route Mr Canoehead.

60 foot tower at the right end of Y-Crack Wall. Occasional loose rock on non river side of the rock. Same as for Y-crack wall
