Access Issue: The only access to this wall is by canoe or kayak
Details
This wall is within the wilderness area of the BWCA (Boundary Waters) and requires a canoe or kayak and obtaining a permit for the stay, but definitely worth the extra effort for the variety of climbs / difficulties. The access point is 50 miles northwest of
Grand Marais, Minnesota on Gun Flint Trail. A fee of $16.00 per person for up to 14 days is charged April-September.

Description
Very crunchy slab, starting with a sit-start just above the water, matched on the obvious shark-tooth feature. Lock and stand into slopey jugs as you try to keep your skin intact as you mantle and smear up the ascending slopey jugs. Top out and enjoy the bay view!
Best experienced barefoot such that you do not disturb the existing lichen on the rock. This also adds a delicate touch to the, otherwise V-EZ climb.
I HIGHLY encourage not cleaning the face that this route takes place on, as well as any other rocks or features you may come across in the BWCA. Lichen adds to the grade :)
