Description 

This route name was inspired by the Bullwinkle J. Moose thread on Super Topo. It brought back memories from my childhood, especially since I grew up in Frostbite Falls, Minnesota (well at least Minnesota). Crux is from 2nd to 4th bolt. Climbing is continuous and may require a fearless leader.

Location 

Several hundred yards upstream from the Animal World parking lot. Past the Beer Can. During low water level, can be approached by parking 1/4 mile past the Animal World parking lot on the river side of the road. Wade the stream near a large rock and walk downstream. During high water level, use the Sleeping Beauty tyrolean and follow a trail upstream. It goes up a steep hillside and traverses a large ledge. When it drops down to the woods again, Fearless Leader is 100 feet away.

Protection 

6 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.
