BETA PHOTO: Location relative to Grand Portal Point
Add Photo  Printer View
Description A very spectacular route frozen to the bluff above Lake Superior. We saw a picture of this route in a guide, but it wasn't named. Top roped it by lowering in from the top 2/2012 and it was in good shape and in all the way to the water line with no shelf ice.
Location Just east of Grand Portal Point. Like most climbs in the area you can't see it from above but from a prominent point to the east is can easily be surveyed.
GPS Coordinates:
46.550878,-86.457145
Protection TR from trees above or (for the really brave) rap to the water and pull the rope and lead on screws.
February 2012 - very lean ice year and no shelf ic...

| Does anyone know the name of this route? I had seen a picture in Jon J's guide and I'm almost certain he labeled it as "unclimbable" with no other description. Any info would be appreciated to make the route description here correct. |

| I didn't say "unclimbable" I said "Another unnamed and unclimbed route??" The comment was meant to stir someone hike the 7+miles out there and do it! It has been TR'd, but has anyone lead it? |

| I stand corrected, thanks Jon. It was absolutely worth the 7+ miles we hiked to climb this route! |
