Twin Cities Ice (MSP/STP)
Submitted by: K Ice
Access Restriction: Permit Required
Be respectful and minimize your impact. St. Paul parks require that you obtain an annual ice climbing permit. The permit requires a signed waiver and a fee. There has been dialogue with the city about this requirement and many climbers do not agree with the fee. For more information on this access issue see discussions on MN forums.

See the following website for more information:

Description
There is quite a bit of climbable ice around the Twin Cities! I'm not going to post all the locations but I do want people to know that it's around. Go out and explore, be respectful, and have fun!
