Start above the miniature choss cave with a very cool left hold and move on up. A sds to this would be very cool. There's also a possible variation just the left of this that could go up the mungy crack (read: needs to be cleaned) and would be a bit more difficult, but somewhat contrived. Come on out and climb it dudes!

Possum starts off the climbing on the lower wall. Kind of a one move wonder, and like so many climbs in Duluth, ends in a slopey topout.

A neat little crack that requires some finger-lockage and few reachy moves. I thought stand start was V3. The sit start variation begins on a good undercling and requires a little more desperation, so V4

Pretty mellow warmup. A lot taller than the picture shows. This follows good holds on a crack that comes to a stance. Continue up the crack on an angled slab or exit right. Left looks kinda sketch and somewhat dirty.

I gave this a climbing rating because of it's length and grade. Super mellow, but pretty high. Still nothing to worry about.

A good V1 to induce your climbing experience at the PPW. Follow the dirty crack to the right of St. Luke's.

Bananimals is a terric crimpfest with a deadpoint balance crux. I would give it 4 stars if it was a bit longer. Awesome jug for the last move. The sds has yet to be done and might add a number to the grade.

This fun climb looks harder than it is. The wall blanks out for a bried moment here and "Midwives" is the result. Slabby face climbing.

This wall faces the road. The good stuff is on the 50 foot long face until it gets a bit chossy the further one goes to the right and uphill towards the upper wall.
