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 Rock Climbing Permits (free):
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.
dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks… 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
A splitter-crack in a left-facing corner on the north side of Angle Rock. Needs some cleaning and it's currently a bit of a bushwack at the top but cleaned up it will be a really nice climb.
This is Route # 8 from the black and white picture in the area descrpition. Clearly visible from Rod's Area on WI side. Bottom accessable when the water is low.
Location
When the river is high, rappel in from the top.
When the river is low, use the access gully from the Boonyards bouldering area 30 ft climbers right of the crack, OR 3rd class scamble from a big pine tree near the path area 15 ft climbers right of the Boonyards area gully access.
Protection
It's a deep splitter with good rock quality, need I say more? Camalot size #3 - #5, optional #6.
[Hide Photo] Approach to the top: Hop the fence, follow the path around the corner about 30 feet. The top of the crack is about 15 feet below between 2 small pine trees..
