Access Issue: Manitou River Ice climbs closed
Details
Until further notice, ice climbing along the Manitou River is closed. The MCA, Access Fund, State Parks, local conservation officers, and the DNR are working together to determine the best path forward. Accessing the river from the highway requires crossing private land and may constitute criminal trespass. The land owners have demonstrated very clearly their intent to keep people off their land with signage and fencing. It will be important for us as a climbing community to respect their wishes. We wish to work with the land owners to regain access. For questions and concerns, please contact Lucas Kramer at lkramer@d.umn.edu.
Description
The big enchilada. This monstrous hanging dagger falls from the lip of the canyon and hangs free for most of its length as it tries touch down. If it does, it's a burly free standing pillar. If not, it's radical, loose dry-tooling through a 15-foot cave to overhanging munge (held together with ice) to the hanging widow-maker. Mike Dahlberg once led this with removable bolts on lead to get to the hanger.
