Details
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
Want to get your crimp on? Deadpoint to a hueco? Gaston so hard your shoulder might explode? This unique face climb will test all your techniques.
Set your top anchor climbers right of Danger High Voltage. (see pics). Rap down broken ledges trending left to the clean face. Rap to a small ledge (1’ x 3’) with a bolted anchor about 1/3 of the way up the cliff. A bit below the larger ledges of DHV.
For the climb, traverse left from the belay ledge and then up on easier but not super straightforward climbing. Before you know it you are in the midst of a super fun and cryptic crux sequence. Very slight reprieve as you traverse out right and set up for a deadpoint to the hueco. Hold on until the rest ledge up and left.
From here, go back out onto the face and execute another crux sequence. Follow that big flake out left and then back right, surmounting the ledge for your last crux. Once you get up onto the easier blockier climbing, trend right and then straight up to your anchor.
Don’t get tunnel vision, the route traverses back and forth quite a bit.
Lots of discussion on whether this should be 12c or b. Get on it and vote, so the consensus can decide. It's just such a different style than most Palisade Head Routes. Face climbing on little crimps and actually slightly slabbed through the crux.
Location
Head south from the parking lot a couple hundred feet and look for the obvious 10' x 10' flat ledge a few steps down from the rest of the cliff edge. Looker's right of a small birch near the cliffs edge. If you are familiar with other routes, it is in between Feathery Tong and Danger High Voltage.
