September Wall

September Wall is a climbing area in Devils Lake State Park in Wisconsin, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among a cluster of named climbing areas, with Vulture Lookout East and Near East each about 0.1 mile away and February Wall and Aladdin's Castle about 0.2 mile off. The area is best suited to climbers who want a mix of trad and top-rope routes on a range of grades. The climbing here runs from about 5.4 to 5.10b, with 11 routes in total. Seven are trad and four are top rope. Among the named routes are Deep inside corner at 5.4, Queen of Hearts at 5.10b, and The Fang at 5.9-. For timing, late summer and early fall are the most comfortable stretch. Typical averages from the nearby Baraboo weather station show September highs around 74°F with lows near 50°F, and the station sits about 535 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures on the rock run cooler.
