there is NO sport climbing at devils lake - top rope and leading with gear only. There may be a couple fixed pitons here and there you can clip too, thats kinda sporty :lol:
Better off going to jackson falls for sport leading, really nice place too, great sandstone.

True. They don't want bolts in the rock. I don't blame em. It ruins the look and the rock. Secondly, they have been attempting to ban climbing there for a few years now, so don't do anything to give the authorities more ammunition. As it goes, they think climbers trasht he place with food wrappers, etc. when it is really hikers and families with small children> Every climber I've ever seen at DL, and I've been there a lot, takes more off the rock than they bring with them.

Does anyone mind climbing with two 14 year olds and a 16 year old if they came along?
The 16 year old is a consistent 5.12 outdoors.
one 14 year old consistent 5.9+ outdoors
The last 14 year old is also 5.9+
If there are any takers, PM me

i certainly dont mind it...if you arent exaggerating thatd be great to see some decent climbers 7 years younger than me...but if you're too good...i may drown you.

5 of us are going up to DL on June 24 coming back the 26th. Looking to do some top rope due to lack of gear and experience, and some bouldering. If any of you will be there it would be great to meet you and climb. Let me know. Ages from 19 to 26 3 noob climbers and 2 non ie. hikers, moral supportists and photographers. thanks guys and gals

I may have to bail on the 25th.
I'm guiding a camp at Palisades that weekend.
Also, Danegerous - how is the clothing company coming along?

The nice thing about DL is you really don't need much to climb 85% of the climbs if you're top roping. You just need to know what to use where. Some long webbing - about 8 pieces (1-40ft, 2-30ft, 2-15ft, 3-10ft) to get around any large boulder or nearby tree, some nuts (get a set) and a couple cams (one large, one med) and you're pretty much good. You should be able to set any rope with that. Of course you need some locking biners to double up at the anchors and rope, as well.

In reply to: a couple cams (one large, one med) and you're pretty much good.
Just thought of something, you could just get another long 40ft piece of webbing instead of the cam to sling a far tree, that would be cheaper than the cam. All in all not much is needed to set three good anchors at a lot of the climbs.
Hopefully you guys will have a great weekend like we just did. Low traffic, uncrowded. If there's no wind and I can't kiteboard this weekend, maybe I'll cruise up and do some climbing too.
