Access Issue: PRIVATE PROPERTY. Open with restrictions. Details

This area is overseen by MNDOT. Keep a low profile and stay off of the highway. Stay off of the obvious climb in the dihedral where the tunnel meets the highway. Also note, the top is private property.

Description

Start on the ramp of the boulders on the left wall (45ft), traverse behind the small tree in the center of the gulley (20ft). Continue onto the ramp on the right wall and follow it up to the first bolt (15ft), reverse directions onto a new ramp (30ft), at the top of which you will find a second bolt. Climb above (15ft) but avoid the chossy corner to the left (marked red, on route map) after this short ascent you will find the third and final bolt with a quick link.
A second bolt might be nice here for a repel but the single bolt was adequate.

Good fun scramble, exposure isnt too bad but watch out for loose rocks.

Our group used it as an alpine move together training in a trio (super fun, would reccomend but be carful of avoiding rockfall to followers). It stitched up well, tons of great deep cracks in solid rock.

Location

Near the middle of the crag, south of Elyse’s Revenge, north of Big Butt

Protection

Various used, stitched it up for 3 person alpine practice.
It took cams all over the place .4-4 (could be protected well with very few in medium sizes)
Slinging trees, used a few tri cams and a small ballnut in a thin crack.
Vertical sections at end contain 3 bolts
Final bolt should have a quick link to repel from (carful of loose rocks!)
