Climbing can be found almost in the heart of Kansas City? Too good to be true? Nope, it's there!
Along an old scenic byway, right off the road, limestone can be found. The area is shady, in more ways than one, but it seems to be improving. The rock tends to be smooth, forcing harder grips and improved foot technique. Perfect for training.
Summer can be hot and buggy and winter can be cold.
Getting There
From I-70, head north on Paseo. After some stoplights, the road splits. Left goes to I-29 and right becomes Cliff Drive. Follow this around a right curve and head through the gates. Veer left at the split. The cliffs are encountered on the right just before the sharp right curve.
Park across from the cliffs at one of the small pulloffs.
