One Word is a bouldering area in Devils Lake State Park in Wisconsin, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among several other climbing areas, including West Bluff Towers, Above and Beyond and Tree Tower, all within about a tenth of a mile. The closest hike is the Iat - Devil's Lake-Baraboo Connection, about half a mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with six routes ranging from V6 to V10+. The most common grades are V8 and V9, and the hardest is the Rogue Direct Project at V10+. Ian CB probably did the first ascents of Gangnam Style, Vanilla Ice and Mystique. 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.
