 This line is the right variation of Leopard Cobra; a solid climb reminiscent of Special K and the Welcome Crack on the north shore. The technical feet up high and the wall looming close behind make this thing pretty spicy. All the holds are there and the top out is satisfying, so git on it!

A great blocky feature on the backside of a tower right in the projects. Start squeezing the face and then find a combination of crimps and compression moves to reach a jug. This route climbs in classic DL style.. a technical and unforgiving sequence leads to easier but more consequential climbing to the top

 Thanks to some new beta from Cody Wheeler, the beginning moves go much easier and keep this thing consistently V1 all the way.

Crux is right off the ground.  Small crimps and small side pulls with slim feet.  There is a 2 finger sized flake sticking out at about 12 feet for left hand.  The upper half is sustained 5.8 with slopers and side pulls.

A variation of Leopard Cobra, this line stays on the left arete to the top. With the left hand starting under the low roof and right on a half moon side pull, use tension to reach a rail and a crimp. Find high feet, move up to the jug and top out.

 Not using the detached feet makes the first move more balancey and fun

Same difficulty all the way up corner climb.  Side pulls along crack line and plenty of foot hold options.

Historically this boulder has many variations (problems) on it. They were never named or graded. Climbs ranged from V0-V6. This is one of the  more obvious lines we saw on this boulder. 

  There are 2 variations to start this problem out. 

  1. V3 Start on the far left end of the boulder in the pit. Heel hook and use left hand jug and right hand on sloper. Make a big move and work your way up. 

  2. V2 Start using large undercling rail on the right side of the overhang. Make a large move for the same hold as the start 1.

Climb slightly overhanging face on slopers and thin holds.  FA was April 2016.  No repeats yet.  

 Going into the corner has been done subsequently and is V7ish, "Softer than Iron".  

I'm sure someone has climbed it before me, but I thought I'd add it since it's not there. Face to the left of skillet dinner. You can use the arete, but can't go inside the crack. See picture for the route.

  This problem is on the riverside of the boulder. Start in the middle of the boulder on good holds. Heel hook and make move to good undercling. Make a huge move out right to gain jug, make a few move big moves to finish it up on the arete

Corner splittie with many feratures inside little mini buttress.

A raw material for further industrial processes.Step up into the alcove.  A burly move to get started up the crack, and another burly move to exit at the top, combined with a few contortions in the middle.

Climbs the steepest section with good holds. Led on gear in the 90's.

The main rock formation on the east side of Skillet Creek.  The lower end is "The River Boulder", where an ancient layer of rock overlays the Baraboo quartzite, similar to the unconformity at the north end of the West Bluff at Devils Lake.  The upper end is "Cast Iron". 

  Although south facing, this area is deep in the woods.
