Details

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.

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
A popular spot for tourists, there are a few excellent classics in the Boneyards, including one of the most difficult established problems in the Midwest, the sit-down start to Left Of Lloyds, named "The Sporting Life" (V12). Other classics include Nanhole (V1), Spider Tracks (V3) and a handful of other nice easier problems.
Getting There
Walk from the Park Office down towards the river. Pass The Pit (immediately at left from the ramp/path to the river) and Tourist Rocks (immediately right of the ramp/path), and then walk left past the Sizzlefoot Area. Walk straight, another 50 feet, up a few stairs, and into the Boneyards.
At the left of the pine tree at the entrance is Left of Left of Lloyd's. This small section of the wall hosts most of the hard routes.
