Access Issue: Climbing permits are required for all group and individual climbers at Interstate State Park. Permits are free, and must be renewed each year.
Details
Individual permits are available year-round at the park office. Weekends in May and daily Memorial Day through mid-October, permits are also available at the visitor center. Individual climbing permits are also available at the self pay kiosk near the visitor center.
Commercial Rock Climbing Permits (free):
Organized groups are required to obtain a new commercial climbing permit each year. This requires submitting a certificate of insurance with required liability limits and naming the State Of Minnesota as an additional insured party. Application forms are available by calling the park office at 651-539-4500. Requests for new commercial climbing permits should be submitted at least seven days prior to the climbing event to allow time to process the permit request.

Minnesota State Parks strongly endorse a "clean climbing" philosophy. In all but very limited, pre-approved instances, placement of hardware will be limited to that which can be temporarily placed using the climber's fingers. All such protection must be placed and removed without altering the rock."
Description
This route is located just right of right of Columeister on the Minnesota strip.
The start of the climb is easy, romp up the blocks to several ledges. The start is the same start as Columeister. Then work your way up and right to a 15 to 20 foot hand crack at the top, the hand crack tops out the climb.
But first, after the last ledge it gets more sustained. Do some face moves that are very protectable to a horizontal flaring crack that leads to the hand crack. Before the traverse there is a really nice cam placement and then start the awkward traverse right, I think I might have got a hex in on the traverse.
Now your at the bottom of the hand crack. The crack is beautiful and starts to taper off towards the top.
Grab the top and........ Ill let you figure out the move.
The top has nice cracks to build an anchor.
