Climbing at Sugar Loaf in Winona, MN
Gabe and I spent a day climbing at Sugar
Loaf, in Winona, MN. It was the first time we had climbed there. The routes are shorter but having a place like that so close to La Crosse compared with the drive to Devil's Lake is great.There are a small number of bolted sport routes on
Sugar Loaf, all are fun to climb. Sport climbing is where bolts have
previously been drilled into the rock so you can clip your rope into
them as you climb to protect you in case you fall. The view is
spectacular when you get to the top. We climbed a few routes and then set up a top rope to run some laps on a couple of areas. Contact us at www.midwestmountainguides.com if you are interested in climbing.

Wow, looks like you guys had a perfect day for it too! Ever done any climbing in Washington by chance? The rock on sugar loaf actually look pretty similar to what I climb on near Leavenworth, Washington. You guys should plan a climbing trip out here for Octoberfest!
