1) where is it? 2) public? 3) anything over 30 ft high there? |
|
The Brickyards is in St. Paul, MN. Here is the link to the MTN Project page for the area. |

thanks. I've heard of it but never knew where it was. 400 miles too far to drive though for 30 footers. |

Nice video Matt. |

There is a fee in the form of an "annual pass." Similar fees are charged for fossil collecting there in the summer (which is quite good for those into such things). However, I've been hiking back there several times and I think the local cops have better things than hike into the woods looking for climbers without permits, so if you were to try to poach, you'd likely get away with it. |

I was climbing at Franklin St. on Sunday, and it is definitely not illegal. A cop walked by when another group was setting up their top rope, and basically said to have fun. I heard yet another group mention a cop checking them out thinking they were spraying grafiti on the bridge. Then basically said to have fun upon realizing they were not graf artists. I have heard of the permit for Lillydale, but have never seen a police officer back there in any of my dozens of visits. Unfortunately, I think you may be right about the status of Minnehaha Falls regardless of a permit. |

Dylan and Matt, |

Yeah you have to get a permit through the city of St.Paul to climb any falls in the St Paul area, I doubt it's enforced. I think it's like 35 dollars. I'm from Mankato and I would maybe climb Franklin St. but the Brick Yards really limited climbers on height. |
