Maybe, but lets see, we may get a warm-up. The other thing, we could always go out and do 2 climbs at like 1pm. At least we'd be able to say we climbed...

Well, my kids seem to have other plans that night so right now I'm thinking that I'll go up there for a couple hours before I pick them up. Say like 2-5 or something. I realize that probably deosn't work for you but well, sorry dude; it's what I got...
I'll be at VE Monday afternoon (1600h) for sure...

This is the time for you guys to break out your surfboards and hit up Stoney Point of Lake Superior and catch some lefts!!
I have some good friends that surf the big lakes. Amazing!! Truly amazing. Oh, what does this have to do with climbing? Nothing at all just wanted to spit some of my mind out that is all.
ENJOY!!

Damn, I was told the water in the lake was too cold to swim in even in the summer, I'm talking hypothermia cold, oh well climbers find places to climb in the flatest land so I suppose surferes arent any different
For those of you who wanted to get out and snow board with me, I havent been able to find that deal for $25, it may have just been for the holidays, best thing we can do is watch their web site and hope for another special.
See ya'll at VE Mon night (No kids this time to bug me for my phone or car keys while I'm in the middle of a lead)

Hey pamola, welcome to the MN thread!
Yes you are correct. There are some who try to surf the Big Stuff in Lake Superior. Usually in November and early December though. That's when the winds and waves are at their highest.
C'mon Les, you've GOT your own wet suit; you should have imagined!!!
Superior hangs between about 39 to 43 degrees all year around. Its the reason the lake doesn't freeze over in the winter (just ices up on the edges) and it's generally too cold in the summer even.
A bigger activity than surfing though is wind-surfing and PWC (or jet ski like mobiles).
Back to the subject at hand... Climbing in Minnesota...
VE Monday night. I'll be there about 4pm.

Wet suit????
wet suits are very limited, I think maybe were talking at least dry suit and I'm thinking you'd have to have some serious long johns under it.
I dont know if any of you who used to be in the top 5 users on this page have noticed or not, but some of you slipped off the chart, I'm tring to find out why but I havent gotten an answer yet, I cant remember exactly what my point count was but now it seems short and i suspect that the restructuring in the points system made us lose points that we had acumulated. For example (these are completely made up # I dont know what anything is worth) if posting to a thread was worth 20 points and now its only worth 5 then maybe we lost the 15 points for each of those posts we'd made in the past. I'm just guessing, hopfully I'll have an answer soon.

Have any of you looked at weather.com this weekend??? They are predicting 45 degrees and dry at Barns Bluff on Wednesday!! Too bad I have to work (I have some huge projects that I can't get away from). While 45 degrees is usually too cold for me, the idea of climbing at Red Wing in January is very very appealing.
I'll probably see you guys at VE on Monday. I pinched something in my wrist while working out yesterday, so I am 60/40 right now. I have to the most injury-prone person I know!! Anyways, it feels much better this morning. But I'll have to wait and see how it feels after a full day of sitting at a computer tomorrow.

WOW! what a nice day at Barns, but where was all my fellow MN rc.com members? We saw some people from VE there but none of our normal climbing partners, what happened? Ohhhh thats right, you all work in the daytime, I gotta say, I'm lovin 3ed shift more and more
Dann and I climbed from about noon till 3:30 Dann did Sunburst and we both did Jump start and sleeping bat a few times each. Now we just have Feb to get out of the way and it'll all be down hill from there.

Wow, it was amazing today.
Wish I had been able to come out to Barns today, I tried to get my friend to take me climbing during study hall, but it didn't work, and no one wanted to go after practice today either.
Unfortunately I think the weather is supposed to get pretty cold within the next few days, so I might not get to climb outside for a long time.
