SW: Peter's Branch Climbing

There are a few options for access. Unfortunately, the only one with ample parking has a horrible approach. The most common parking and approach are found most easily by being shown in person. For this reason, I will only describe the one access.

From Sparta, MO:

Head east out of town on Missouri 125 S which will soon curve south.

In about 2 miles, turn left(east) on Hwy T at the "town" of Oldfield.

Continue for six miles until you cross Swan Creek, then take an immediate left onto Keltner Road (gravel)

Follow this road a short way and after the second LOW WATER crossing, parking will be on the right. It is just a widened section of the road but there is plenty of room to park. From here, the crag is roughly 1500-2000ft SSE (yes, over that monster hill!).

There is an approach trail about 1,000 feet ahead after the second water crossing. If you park immediately after the water on the right in the pullout and walk down the road you'll eventually find white trail marker signs attached to a few trees. The trail begins near where the creek bends towards the road.

If you follow this trail it will eventually join with a larger track that rises over the hill before descending back towards the crag. Make sure to follow the white trail marker signs.

This parking is not available during periods of high water due to the low water crossings(I assume you don't want to climb wet rock anyway).
