Trapper's Camp - Memorial Day weekend
|
Was just down on Osceola, MO over the weekend checking out Trapper's Camp. I didn't have any gear or a belayer, so mostly just looked around. |
|
I've yet to visit, but was planning to camp here when I do: |

Thanks! I think we are going to stay out near Raven Rocks, but I will tuck this away in case that falls through. |

Raven Rocks is another place that's on my list. Do you plan to climb there or just camp there? I've heard the rock quality is pretty poor and not worth messing with, but haven't been able to verify it yet. |

Never been there, but I think we will camp at Raven rocks and give the climbs a try. |

Bolts and sandstone aren't really my thing, but I live in Nebraska... I've learned to appreciate anything that's steeper than about 45 degrees. /rl |
