Hey, a nice DL quartzite shot! Let the world know what we must put up with in the non-friction world of Wisconsin climbing. Trying to figure out what climb this is... big ledge. Anemia? Or is this West Bluff territory?

Rainy Wednesday Tower, foreplay. I later read that it is the only climb at DL that is actually easier than its rating! Oh well, I'm not too proud since I'm still learning. ANy suggestions for learning leads at the lake would be appreciated. (And PLEASE don't say Boy Scout!)

Oh nooo way! Boy Scout is a crawl-up slab, usually full of...well Boy Scouts. I was thinking the crack might be Foreplay, as the one shot of the boulders looked like the spot below the Orgasm wall. It is a great first lead, and one you can turn into 2 pitches at the tree, if you choose to practice that skill. That nice crack on left side of Mouse Wall is good too, think it's called Full Stop. Or Peter's Project if you like the scary crux 5.7 unprotected start. Double Overhang on Rainy Wed. Tower is a nice long and exposed lead. All are nice starts.
Over on the Balanced Rock Wall, Watermarks area, is a very nice 5.5 lead called Sunken Piller. Two nice cracks to place stuff in, and plenty of trees atop to anchor off from.
Good luck getting in a couple warm days yet this fall.
