Sedalia Crack Bouldering Rock Climbing

These are granite blocks with several areas spread over half of a square mile. There are over 50 crack problems with a concentration of fist and OW sizes, some fingers, hands and chimneys, and a few other problems. It's a great area for a half day to practice your jams or to get tuned up.

The Main Area (A through E) and Surrounding/Dispersed Boulders (F through H) were posted in 2016, with Areas I and J being added in 2026.  Areas I and J are 0.25 miles and 0.80 miles, respectively, SE of the Main Area. See the overview map for general locations and individual maps in each area for more details. There's generally no direct trails or identifiable features to follow, so navigation can be difficult, and GPS coordinates are helpful.

The routes are classified as TR only because of posting limitations with the difficulty rating scale. These are mostly boulder problems (not TRs), in which YDS ratings are more fitting than V ratings.

Long pants and tape are recommended, and kneepads are helpful for some problems.

For a free comprehensive guide, send me (Kent) a request via email (will be updated for areas I and J sometime in the summer of 2026). Any comments that you provide, good or bad, are appreciated.

The area is sometimes used by paint pellet competition enthusiasts. The participants I’ve met have been cordial, and we’ve worked out plans as to who is where, so I don’t get shot or interfere with their games. Starting before 9:00 is good to establish your presence before the games commence.

I am not the first to boulder at the rocks. The area was briefly mentioned by Ken Trout in his Rock and Ice S. Platte article (1990s?). The Green Meanie Boulder is listed in both Hubbel’s 1997 guidebook and in the 2012 Fixed Pin S Platte - N Volume guidebook by Haas, Schneider, and Weinhold.
