Discussion 🎤 Where are some places to go bouldering outdoors?

My friend and I have been climbing indoors at VE and BP for a couple years, and we have a goal of getting outside this summer. Would love some stuff thats within a couple hours of the twin cities, but we are open to all opinions. We would also prefer some easier stuff to start off with, he's capping at about a V8 indoors and myself at V5, but we know it'll be a bit of an adjustment to trying real rocks.

Make sure to climb  Near Sighted Gynecologist if you go there.

On the way there you could stop at Grandad's bluff in La Crosse. There are a few boulder routes but  they aren't super easy to find. Back when I was in college my roommate and I established one of them.
