Barn Bluff at sunrise. October 2010.
Barnburner Crack before the bolts. This photo is from September of 1988. The belayer is non other than Jim Blakely. As much as I'd like to say I on-sighted this thing, I can't, I'm sure that I had top roped it at least a hundred times. To walk up to this crack and on- sight it would be really cool. I lost that chance over two decades ago. At the time I figured this was the 4th or 5th lead of the climb. Good thing I wasn't wearing lycra. Bob Bickford December 2008

Summer 2017 - a slow effort to replace old bolts is underway. MCA is moving to glue in wave bolts. Removing old bolts is an additional effort. If you see evidence of bolting in process, multiple bolts in one clipping spot, etc. - please be patient and aware that this isn't an overnight process. It will take time. Much like road construction in Minnesota, you can expect to see this effort take multiple seasons to complete. Donate to MCA if you want to support the endeavor!

Barn Bluff aerial photo dated 4-08-09. I am working on mapping project for MNDOT in Red Wing area that encompasses Barn Bluff. Zoom in and you see a climber. Is it you?
