When in doubt, you can inquire about the closures at the State Park Visitor Center (5702 Highway 61, Silver Bay), via email (tettegouche.statepark@state.mn.us), or by phone (218-353-8800).
Description
Begin with a 5.11 intro of face climbing that leads into a shallow corner. Once past the dihedral and on the headwall, navigate a sustained crux with small edges and tricky movement (V8 or so). After some 5.10 climbing, one final crux awaits. While not straightforward, the finish only clocks in at V3 or so. Smuggler’s Cove the route draws its name from the deservedly famous San Francisco tiki bar of the same name. If you enjoy mixing drinks, the cocktail book, which is also called Smugglers Cove, demands a seat at the home bar. Send this route and once home be sure to dial up a Zombie or Jungle Bird. Yum!
Location
10ft climber’s right (north) of Jim’s Crack. Belay from the lowest ledge before 4th class terrain begins; this is about 50 ft above the water.
Protection
Climb itself has 8 bolts. Supplement with two 0.4 cams and one 0.3. Be sure to take 3-4 standard length runners. Locate the dihedral at mid-height. Extending the bolts below helps with rope drag; the same can be said for the piece you place in the dihedral itself.
Belay ledge takes cams 0.2-0.4. Route overhangs 15 or so feet. Clip into bolts #4 and lower, otherwise you might find yourself hanging in space and unable to reach the belay. You’d then have to lower to the ground then fourth class up chossy ledges to get back to the belay. This method is not advised. The route is only a hundred yards or so from the access gully. You can skip the rappel and approach via that path, if you so choose.
