Description
Sugar Loaf is an iconic place in Winona, MN. Sitting approx 600 ft above Winona, the Sugarloaf is a unique man-made tower; a result from quarrying in the 1800s. It offers routes on all aspects of the tower ranging from 5.3- 5.11 in difficulty. The majority of routes are in the 5.6-5.9 range.
Currently 38 lead routes and a few additional top rope anchors with approx 1-2 more routes to be bolted. Most anchors have stainless steel wiregate biners at the anchors for easy TRing and cleaning. Almost all anchors are glue in bolts with the remaining expansion bolts slated to be removed by the end of 2017. There is a comprehensive trail plan approved by the city that will offer better access and develop the park as a designated Rock climbing area. Routes are listed beginning on the NW corner and moving right from there around the formation.
There are steel cables on the north face to assist climbers while moving through the terrain with smaller ledges and higher consequences. These cables are for tethering in while transitioning between routes and not for belaying directly off/ clipping in for belaying.
If anyone is in need of gear for rock climbing or some ice climbing, you can rent some at Winona State University's Outdoor Education and Recreation Center WSU website.
