Obzen is a bouldering area within Devils Lake State Park in Wisconsin, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among several other climbing areas, including Rail Gun and Anarchist (Guillotine), which all lie about 0.1 mile away. The ObZen boulder itself is a V2 route, and the area ranges from V2 up to V11, making it a compact spot for climbers of all skill levels. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 83°F with lows near 60°F, according to averages from a nearby weather station in Baraboo. Winters are cold, with January highs around 28°F. The routes at Obzen include ObZen (V2), Leroy (V4), Slip and Slide (V5), Beanie Baby (V6-7) and Decadence (V11). For a longer outing, the IAT Devil's Lake-Baraboo Connection and the IAT Devil's Lake Segment both start within about a mile and a half.
