Description

A nice, small area with short walls for day trips. Historically this was a top rope area but has been recently re-opened for sport climbing in a collaboration between the BETA Fund and the Missouri Department of Conservation.

Getting There

Highway 109 to West Christy Road.

1/4 mile hike up nature trail.

FYI - West Christy Road does not show up on all map applications, but it is appropriately 1/2 mile north of Woods Road and the main entrance to Rockwoods Reservation.
