Best Undone Leads at Devils Lake...

Can anyone confirm if Cheap Swill has been lead? 

Despite it being another DL contrived line, I found the traverse and ending on RM to be quite enjoyable and natural feeling. Looks like good gear after the traverse before punching it out to the top.

After that same conversation about that route last night. I also wanna know if No Stranger To The Fist has seen a repeat? It looks really cool

Just found this thread.  Was just messaging with Kenz about Barn Dance.  Remo, it is leadable, but the low section before the break has no gear.  From the break to the top is reasonably protected by DL standards.  I rapped in and figured out the gear, toproped it a couple times to make sure I could climb it, and then chickened out.  Falling before the break might end with the Baraboo fire department winching you up to the top of the bluff.  Flip side could be bring a big pad and a couple spotters and get it done.  It's a fun route.  And I did lead Outside RC.  I think Peter also did it.  It's super short and there are better ones out there, if there wasn't a bulge at the start it could easily just be soloed like "I see the bucket".  

Oh, and check my comments under "A Mid Western Climb" about first lead.  The 12c next door "Short People Need Not Apply" is also open for a FL, I think.  

Reviving an old thread bc I have no friends  

EDIT: Ok, thread is still rolling and healthy, didn't see page 2.

Anyone around for the craggin classic this week and wanna tick some of these??? I've got lots of stoke, but recently moved back to the midwest and am missing solid partners!

If you go to the event, swing by Kenz Hack’s tent. Most of the regular crew will probably be gathered there. Solid crew of folks who climb at DL a lot. Many of them live right in Baraboo 

it can be tough to get actual climbing in during that weekend depending on where you want to climb
