Devils Lake framed by the pines.
Right after Independence Day my brother and I got out for some top rope climbing in Devils Lake state park in Wisconsin. We drove about half way the day before and decided to stare at a campfire for a few hours before we made it to the park. This wasn't well planned on our part because the entire midwest had the same idea. Our regular spots at the park were already being climbed so we set up at a section called "The Pantry". Not a bad bit of climbing for our first time out however we were both glad we hadn't brought any newcomers out. We surly would have made them nervous. It took us a while to get the pre-climb protection perfect. We got three or four routes in apiece. The drive home was the pits. It was like ski traffic on I-70 all the way to Chicago.
