Foxx Rocks is a climbing area in Minnesota, about a mile from the town of Oneota. It sits among a cluster of bouldering and climbing spots, with Sanctuary, North Little Foxx and Confederate Wall all within a third of a mile. The area is also close to mountain biking trails, including Admiral Rockbar, which is just 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is mostly bouldering, with 14 boulder problems and one top-rope route among the 20 routes listed. The boulders range from V0- to V6, with the hardest being Foxy Lady at V6. The boulders also have a range of traditional grades, from 5.4 to 5.11. The area is a compact, close-together cluster of crags, so it works well for a short session or a longer day with other climbing nearby. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Duluth show July highs around 78°F with lows near 56°F, while January highs average about 20°F.
