Palisade Head

This is the big bad cliff in Minnesota. Bad weather, suspect rock, lack of good protection, and sometimes puzzling moves produce the most challenging climbing area in the state.

Area Updates:

  • Falcon closures occur almost every year. The falcons tend to move around, so the Park will post areas that are closed.

Additional Comments:

  • Loose rock and sharp edges are a constant concern. Check your gear regularly.
  • Old aid routes are being freed every year. Please report any new routes!
