A Redpoint attempt of 'Longing For Miss Adonis' (5.12a).

Town of Redwing from the summit of Mt. LaGrange aka Barn Bluff.

Hot days call for shirtless sending. Calvin redpoints Missippi Burning with a huge flapper (received in an earlier attempt and promptly taped). After a rest in the crack and a jaunt out to clip the crux, he powers through for the anchors.

A boulder problem at barn bluff. This boulder problem Nick did with a sit start. It was a tough sit, but after the first 3 moves it got easier. Photograph of Nick Sorrentino taken by Matt Schrapp.

Red pointing Roof Burner (5.11) in Red Wing, MN. The route is fun in a sense that it's a bunch of hard 10 moves linked together and really has no true crux. A good warm up for the .12s around the corner.

This is in Barn Bluffs Minnesota. I was up there for several days. There is some good climbing there, as well as some awesome views.

Greg and I past the flag warming up for a 34 degree morning climb

Lauren Terp toward the bottom of Jump Start (5.10a) at Barn Bluff off the Mississippi in Red Wing, Minnesota (which is not entirely flat). This was a fairly dicey climb for Lauren, who was fairly new to leading at the time. Appropriately named, Jump Start is mostly dicey near the deck. Photo by christopher mitchell

Mantels always look easier than they feel, but Katja comes out of this one looking fairly classy. Frequent Flatulence (5.10b) can be found in Redwing, Minnesota. Photo by christopher mitchell

A fun longer climb at the bluff. Relatively simple yet a real fun climb

This is the middle of a route called Jump Start. 5.10b. It is a popular warm up climb at this craig. It starts with a slight dino and is kind of a climb of ballance the rest of the way up.

First sport climb of the year in the snow in feb. gotta love MN. Still a great time. Pick taken by schmidtya8 as he waited for his chance to climb in feb

Maybe it was the fact that we had to approach the route in the snow, or the fact that we were climbing in february in MN but this route was an enjoyable one

This is my friend Jenni climbing "Looking for Lust" at our local crag (aka Mt La Grange in Red Wing, MN). She's still new to outside climbing, but she did awesome!

My first time on this route on Barns Bluff. Its in the Annadonia Area the route is a 5.8 Rock-a-holics. It was a great climb.

This was the first trip to barns bluff ever. we had a good time.

Here's me on the uber-fun Red Wing route, Jump Start. It's aptly titled, as the first move is a dyno up to a jug. Photo by buddy Chris (cynic).

Here's Matt working up Pleasant Summer Absence at Red Wing, in the nice cool shade of the New Vice Area.

Dave Slovick on Syncopation a fun 5.8 on our first trip outdoors

Basically a chimney in red wing, mn. A very easy climb at 5.5 but still very cool for my first time outdoors. A friend of mine Mat Bedard took the photo

We practiced placing pro on top rope in the crack running almost to the top of this climb. I clipped in here and fo_d took this picture before I rapped off. It was a flash.
