Hoofer Mountaineering Club

This year Devils Lake is celebrating 100 years as a State Park.  We would like to encourage our fellow climbers to take some extra time this year to enjoy the beautiful Baraboo quartzite around The Lake.

Registration is now closed, but details are still available.

We have three categories of climbing challenge:  top-roping, bouldering, and lead climbing.  If you are feeling really ambitious, enter all three!  Open to anyone who climbs.

The challenge is to climb 100 different routes during 2011.  Participants should log their climbs (date & route name) and report them to us.  There will be raffle prizes for those who enter the Challenge - the more routes you complete, the better your chances of winning.  If you would like us to chart your progress, send us your partial list. All proceeds will go to Friends of Devils Lake to help maintain our favorite Park.

For those who enjoy more competition, we will recognize the three individuals in each category with the most impressive 100-climb list.  (Scoring will be based on Swartling & Mayer’s Climber’s Guide to Devil’s Lake, and MountainProject.com.)

We've been working hard gathering sponsor support and planning the logistics. And of course you can already be climbing. Get out to the Lake and have some fun!
