Gom Jabbar is a bouldering area in Devils Lake State Park in Wisconsin, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among a cluster of climbing areas, with Tree Tower, Above and Beyond and West Bluff 06 - West Bluff Towers all about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 14 routes spread across the V1 to V10 range. The easiest is A Quiet Place at V1, and the hardest is Missionaria Protectiva at V10. Kitty is a V4, and Dune is a V7. The routes are listed with their grades and first ascents, including some by Ian CB and others by Ben Summay. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Baraboo show July highs around 83°F with lows near 60°F, while January highs average about 28°F. That station sits roughly 500 feet lower than the park, so temperatures at Gom Jabbar run a little cooler. The Iat - Devil's Lake-Baraboo Connection hike starts about 0.6 mile away, and the Iat - Devil's Lake Segment is about 2.6 miles off. Northern Trails and the Iat - Merrimac Segment are both within about 4 miles.
