MN Crimp

This past weekend I drove out to Madison and met Nic and got a few hours in to check out Governor Dodge State Park. Governor Dodge has been seeing a lot of development recently and I’ve been interested in checking it out for quite awhile now. The climbing is all on featured sandstone – and while the rock quality is unfortunately low – I did find the problems to be fun and the setting very pretty.

Been way too long since my last post.. Hopefully more coming soon..

I had a great time this past Saturday showing Brian, aka the ClimbingNarc, and his wife Amy around to most of the best problems at Taylors. The 3 of us started by warming up on the river boulders down below the Cave area on the WI side and soon moved up the hill to the Pharoah and Cave boulders where we spent the next few hours. One of the largest groups of people I’ve seen at the cave was out and the energy level was great! After hanging out at the cave awhile — where Brian flashed the Midget Stand and did the Sit in a few tries and I had my best go yet on the Traverse (will send soon – somebody hold me to it) — we headed up to do the always fun Big Boy problems. And finally, to end the day, I gave them a tour of the MN side where we ended up hanging out in the B2 pit.
