Mikes hard lemonade to the rescue with this placement.

Me on the Jug Haul. Lots of fun options on this wall.

Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful aretes out there. Steves arete packs quite a punch in it short length.

I don't care who you are, this crack is pumpier than heck! Here, Nate ( a.k.a. Chossmonkey ) tries to get to the top before the vicious pump sets in.

The tower route is a great route with plenty of air between the bolts, but as Nate is showing here, with enough cajones one can trad lead it too.

Chad ( rokklym ) on Air, 5.6. This is an excellent route and great fun to cruise up this beautiful route.

Old and in the way is a classic 10+ crack. Pumpier than heck. Most climbers have to dig real deep to lead this baby. Here is chossmonkey on the sharp end.

Nate ( Chossmonkey ) stops to laugh at a bolt hanger as he passes it while trad leading the Tower route, 5.10A

Jason Weidenbenner on his first 5.12 Redpoint..and a 12C no Less!

Scott on Trust Fund V0/1, a very easy but fun problem. There really are no handholds, you basicly climb with just friction

Brad trying to climb Trust Fund no handed. Its deffinetly do-able no handed, just takes lots of balance ( and good friction ).

Brad on a tall V5 or 6 on the West Bluff of Devils Lake. Once you pull the lip you have a nice little slab to finish out the problem.

Brad ( ramylson ) on a real steep boulder problem on the West Bluff. Pretty cool little problem located directly down the hill from the Beautiful Soup problem.

Nothing washes down scrambled eggs like some Fat Tire Ale and some Old English 800. Chad and Nate warming up at Jacks Canyon on a frigid February morning

Nathan Kutcher climbing Steves Arete in February 2004. He was shaking out and I had the camera hanging there so I snapped of a pic.

Jacob came out of the TAG caves long enough to get in a trip up to Jackson Falls to meet up with us for a little climbing. Here he is on Reefer Madness. Photo was obviously Photoshopped.

I was screwing around with photoshop and decided to do the background in watercolor and keep the climber normal. I thought it turned out OK. This is Chad on the tower route at Petenwell.

I thought I'd hop on photoshop and see what I could come up with. I really like leedaclimbers photo from Little Rock City that had a similar effect.

Nate working an eliminate at Petenwell Bluff. Lots of possibilities on this boulder.

This is a fun little problem. You basicly get tow crappy underclings at about waist level, work your feet up and quick huck for a high pocket thats not as good as you hope. One more big move sets you up for a mantle to top it out.

Nate messing around at the crag. Ya gotta like how his shirt and position match the crashpad.

Nate on Whiskey A go-go. This is one of Wisconsins Classic Hard routes.

here is another pic of Nate on the classic hard route, Whiskey A go-go

Talk about a great route! One of the best 10a's you'll ever get on.

Chad on a really sweet quatzite boulder. The problem starts down low on the right as a SDS and goes up the arete then traverses the edge and tops out on the left.

Out in the woods near Devils Lake a couple years ago. Nice little problem. Photo by Jayme Berger.

Nate close to the edge of the cave on Patent Pending. This is a really fun, pumpy route.

Here is Nate on a redpoint of Hawaiian Bill late November 2003. This is a highly cropped version of a huge digital Pic.

I cant remember what or where this problem is but its cool and its at the Lake. Nate making easy work of it.

Nate goofing around on Micro Putz, and excellent climb. Pretty dang western! Not enough people climb with cowboy hats IMHO...

Chad and Nate pimpin at the crag with new hats from Wall Drug.

Chad on Upwardly Mobile at the Big Bend Boulders outside Moab. All the pictures sucked so I had to play around with them to make them somewhat interesting.

Not 100% sure if this route is called Cheerio Bowl or Cereal bowl, but I am sure that this is an awesome, long, route with the feeling of exposure. Not the greatest pic but I like how the trees look. Also, it gives a good profile of the arete.

Nate hiking out to the main cliffs at Wild Iris. Amazing scenery!

Nate eyeing up the topout of Wisconsin Sucks. Check out the swing set in the background. Lotsa fun.

Chad working a very tough line that was originally done by Nate ( Chossmonkey ). A year or so after the FA, These out of state gymrats come and do the second ascent, then put a video on their gyms website with the name of the town in it. Not what this sensitive area needs! But, what do they care.

We found these set of top anchors in an area that off the beaten path at Petenwell. You really wouldn't need top anchors for trading this route so we figure they must be for top-roping. This would be a fun trad route, but the rock quality/strength is somewhat questionable. Very fun climb though.

Nate sticking the crux of Wisconsin Sucks. The top out is pretty hard too.

Wisconsin Sucks, those were the first words out of Nates mouth first time he climbed this problem. Its a good problem, but Nate just got back from a 3 month roadtrip. Here, I'm about to go for the crux moves.

This is an awesome arete that starts sitting down in the dark area at the bottom. It goes at about V1 or so, maybe V2. Its a little harder now that a handhold broke off. Climber is Chad, photo by Nate

Nate almost getting the crux on this problem. I've seen many good boulderers try it, but I've never seen anyone complete it. It doesn't look to bad but you swing right off it.

Chad getting a couple pads on a nice sloper. Photo taken early 2003 by the Chossmonkey.

Nate pulling premium Sandstone somewhere in Wisconsin. These places are all over the place..keep your eyes and your mind open.

Who says that everything has been climbed at Devils Lake. There are TONS of boulder problems out there waiting for the right preson to claim them. Here, Nate comes close to nailing the FA on a sweet problem. The FA was done moments later by the legendary Eric Z.

Chossmonkey pimping a new line at the Summer Solstice Crank Du Jour at Devils Lake. Nobody was able to top this baby out but it might have been done by now.
