Description Suggest change

There are few bolted sport routes and potential for a few trad lines here but the rock is pretty crumbly and more cleaning would be in order.

There is a bike route directly below the cliff and since MNDOT maintains the area, bikers and tourists get the right of way.

Getting There Suggest change

About 8 miles north of Two Harbors. Park in the scenic pull off and follow the bike trail up to the cliff.

(The more south, of the two tunnels on this road)
