SDS on the far right side of the wall as your looking at it.  Traverse left a few feet off the ground on good holds but poor feet.  Traverse to the left side of the wall until you meet up with Top Out Problem and finish on that.  This is hard to grade as none of the moves are that hard till you top out but it is pumpy.  I will go with V5 but could be anywhere from V4+ to V6 but defiantly harder then Top Out Problem.

Biking In Duluth

A terrific V1 sds warmup. Climbs more like a route than a boulder problem, and is almost a little pumpy towards the end. I'm claiming the FA since I spent an hour one day hanging from webbing cleaning this up and making it solid and climbable.

Very difficult start although you have good hand holds leads to a couple sloppers and then a difficult topout that may bump up the grade if you are shorter then 5'9".  both sides of the boulder are "NOT ON" when toping out.

I know, I know. 4 stars Chris? Seriously? Yes dudes. I'm telling you, this is a classic climb. Here's my reasons: 1. It has a great sit start (a lot of sds in Duluth lack the quality of actually being cool) 2. The movement flows well and is consistent throughout the climb 3. The holds are cool 4. There is an amazing pinch that I had to use (and you will likely not find a hold like this anywhere else in Duluth or Northern MN for that matter!) 5. It's a good enough length to have a little risk involved. Named XMen for the X's that criss-cross the face, the new evolving climbing scene in Duluth, and the mutants that are starting to appear.

Harkness cleaned up this route (by pulling off all kinds of loose choss). This is a sit-down start on good underclings (that may soon break off) and moves through huge holds with big easy moves and then gets serious real quick with the slabby top-out. The giant loose jug in the middle of the route could probably be crow-barred off to make the route a little better.

Starts on the underclings of Top Out Problem and traverses into XMen.

This can be seen from the road in the winter and is the lower wall of climbing that hosts about 4 good problems.
