Description 

Hardly worth note, this is a grouping of rocks glued to the concrete bridge where Chester Creek flows into Lake Superior. Not sure who actually did the work, but it's a fun little diversion and do-able by headlamp.

Room for about 4 ropes and all the routes follow crimpy little lake stones glued to the face.


Getting There 

Follow the tunnel under the bridge from the lake shore...
Do not rap in from the rose garden as this is illegal (but great fun!)
