Lake Delton, WI Crawling

[schmenzer]

This is another crawling spot near the Wisconsin Dells. It is located behind the newish Kohl's Department Store on I-90 and HWY 23. There is an exit from 90/94 right there but I don't remember the exit number.

The crawling area is a 300 foot-plus long and 15 foot high stretch of some kind of sandstone/limestone. It was uncovered when the builders excavated the hill to level it for the Kohl's. I assume it is the same rocks that the river cut through to make the Dells. It is cut at about a 45 degree angle so you can practice your sidehilling and while it is grippy in some spots it is crumbly and slick in others. In addition there is some erosion on the rock that makes nice rills to work.

In addition there is a section of rocks that were put in for erosion control from the parking lot that is above the one that I was working.

That looks sweet! I've always wanted to crawl a continuous rock structure, rather than just lakefront breakwater stuff.
