Stay on the cleaned area of the rock and climb up the first wall. For added difficulty, try not topping out on the first section and transitioning over to the second section from a hang. Be careful on the second section of the climb because falling leads to skinned knees and a little rockslide down to your crashpad. Top out on the second section has some decent holds and a big crack on the far right.

Sit start, big reach up to the nice hold for your right hand, reposition feet and move up the crack.

Granite rock with some cool quartz crystals lying around. If you look, you'll find some crystals but the area is picked pretty clean. There's also a nice view from the top of the rocks. Because this is in the Northwoods, people coming up for weekends means the trail can get busy so be courteous. Keep an eye out for 4 wheelers when you cross the trail coming in. The rock itself is not super long so while there's definitely potential for more routes, there are limits. In terms of animals, keep an eye out for snakes as several snakeskins were in the area.
