SDS off two good crimpers on the right-hand side of the Big Tom Boulder. Follow the arete up and left on increasingly larger holds, and mantle out. A fun route, that is not typical of Wisconsin Quartzite. What I assume is the first ascent was done on my dad's 62nd birthday, hence the name.

Happy Birthday Big Tom

Big Time Big Tom

Stand start, up the middle of the Big Tom Boulder. Starts on small, two-finger pocketish hold in the crack for the right and crimper at roughly the same level for the left. Bump to good left-hand pinch, throw right for the break in the lip, make a few moves to establish on the lip and mantle out. The mantle is easier than expected.

A nice boulder with a forty-five degree overhanging face.
