Magnetic Rock

A large exposed glacial rock formation 1.5 miles from the Gunflint Trail on "Magetic Lake" hiking trail. There's two obvious routes, with potential for some harder variations. Easiest route (red, V1) starts on a large flat face on the right side of the rock when viewed from the approach trail. Starts with large ledges and easy moves before wrapping around to the back side of the rock. From there follow an obvious crack up to the top of the rock.

The second route (blue, V2-V3) goes straight up the large flat face you see when approaching the rock from the trail. Use some good fingerlocks and foot jams to work your way up. While just a V2-V3, take your time as a fall from the top will likely result in something breaking.

While the lower sections are bouldering, the route is more soloing than highball bouldering. The harder route could be somewhat protected with pads, but falling on the easier route would be a disaster and oncontrolable, so if you're not confident just take a rope. Protection is beyond plentiful in all sizes. A nut set would be sufficient, with maybe some #1-#2 camalots for a top anchor if you want (or just use a large sling over the top). Overall a stunning monolith that juts above the vegitation below, providing a beautiful view from the top. Definetly a classic worth the time.
