climbing in oklahoma?

Hi everyone, |
|
Wichita Wildlife Refuge! I was just there a few weeks ago and the place is amazing. Splitter cracks, clean slabs, and fun face climbs all over the place on solid granite. It shouldn't be that far from OKC and you can check out most of the climbs right here on MP. The "Oklahoma Select" guidebook is also available in the the WWR visitors center. Enjoy! |

Arkansas has much better bouldering than oklahoma. Bit of drive from okc to horshoe canyon but worth it. You can also find partners and pads there pretty easy. Fantastic southern sandstone. |
|
Wichita mountains is about 1 hr and 30 mins from OKC. The granite is great and the grades are stiff. Lower Scott has a couple great routes with a 5 min approach might be your best bet. If you have time stop by Rocktown climbing gym they can give you more of a rundown and you could possibly meet someone to climb with. Enjoy |

Thanks for the tips, everyone! I think the Wichita's are the best candidate, closeby for a 1-2dat trip and seemingly good. |

Mr. Clean, high anxiety, repeat after me, layaway plan are all great classic routes |
|
If you're looking for some bouldering in the Wichitas I would recommend checking out the newly(and still being established) Wapiti Bouldering area and the Desperate Reality Cliff bouldering area. |
|
Broken Bow Lake has some pretty decent sized cliffs in SE oaklahoma, near Broken Bow (spent some time in Idabel and checked out the spot once. rock quality is crap closer to the lake, but there is a pretty decent sized cliff out there with better looking rock......lemme know if anyone has ever ventured out there as well! |

Oklahoma has some of the best granite climbing in the United States. Go to wichitamountains.org... And go to "OKC Climb" on Face Book... I recommend going to the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge. Its a jewel and you will realize it once you get there. |
