This is a route called "Red Pulpit" which is to the left of Watermarks on the same wall.

​@climbingvideos OK, thanks. I was pretty sure it was. But it's been probably 25 years since I've been up there, much less climbing. When my husband died suddenly in 2005, any thought of climbing again was dashed. Watermarks was one of our favorites though. We didn't have anything besides simple cameras back then, so it's really nice to reminisce and see some climbing on video. All the rest is just what's in my memory.

@@CuzKatieSaysSo Thank you for sharing! I'm glad I could provide that little window through time. I've got a lot of fond memories of Devil's Lake too - such a special place. Take care and thanks for watching!

It's possible you're referring to Mike Shaffer. Here's the footage of his hair-raising free solo of Bagatelle: vimeo.com/162194894

www.mountainproject.com/route/105730622/bagatelle He’s mentioned here in the Bagatelle description. It says he did it in ‘83 maybe? Not sure where he’s at these days, but I’d love to hear the stories!

It was the same for me! Lots of different ways to climb it, you just have to find the one that works for you. Thanks for watching.

That rock is slick, my son and I saw some climbers there climbing and we found a little spot and were trying it out just for fun. We both were like man I don't know how people get up this stuff. I didn't know that quartzite is known for being somewhat of a slick rock type. Devils lake is so cool, I live 25 minutes away and have been there once on a field trip as a kid before April of this year and we have been there a bunch this year. I might have to get my son into climbing since there is allot of good spots to try and climb at Devils Lake.

Thank you. Solo - 1 camera - and a lot of patience. Thanks for stopping by, feel free to sub so you don't miss the next video!

Definitely not all quartzite. It’s a conglomerate (from sandstone I’d guess?), but is actually quite solid for how chossy it appears.

The last pitch is on Wiessner Wall. 30 years ago would have been right around the time when my parents moved to Baraboo and bought a campground. Thanks for watching!

Hi Kari, thanks for watching!! Your dad is awesome! 😂

I think Grady said it best, "It worked! - I'm alive!" (We brought plenty of webbing on subsequent days!)

Thanks Max!

Ty Ethan, more to come!

It’s truly a special place. Thanks for watching, more to come soon. Happy new year Baron.

I too live in Wisconsin near spring green, I took my son to Devils Lake and we saw quite a few people climbing there and he was just enamered with the guys that were climbing. If its not too expensive to get some beginner gear I just might have to get some for us as a father son thing IDK.

Mountain project refers to this pitch as the “short rightward diagonaling crack” and suggests a grade of 5.4. I’d suggest a bouldering grade of V1 as the moves themselves are not too bad. The main difficulty here is that it hovers over a No Fall Zone gully, so it may be wise to test on a rope before going for the solo.

@@climbingvideos Thank you!!

Thank you!!

thanks for watching... and awesome content over on your channel!

Way to live and capsure the spirit of climbing.

@@matthewjeffries4621 Thank you for watching!

Thank you. I absolutely agree... it's a totally different place compared to the busy summer days. I personally love the peace and solitude it offers, but it can certainly have a cold, almost otherworldly feeling.

Thank you!
