Just moved back to KC from California and I'm looking for a climbing fix. Probably going to climb on plastic through the rest of the summer then bring the pads out to Swope this Fall. Is there a group that heads out there on certain days? Certainly interested to see what the climbing community is like out here.

Shalom Colin!

I just got into Kansas City, MO a few days ago from a rad road trip from my good ol' Seattle, WA where there are amazing amounts of climbing just about everywhere... I am also in need of a climbing fix and tried out The Cave Bouldering the other night? It helped, but I ran into some people and was told that there is some decent climbing at Cliff Drive? Have you ever been? I'd be interested in getting a few people together to do some sport a few times this summer. Thoughts?

I'm moving to Denver, CO in a month and once I get in town I'll be climbing with some friends... I gotta keep my training going, but if plastic has to hold me over that'll suffice though nothing is better than touching real rock.

Let me know?

Cliff Drive for sport climbing and Swope Park for bouldering are the main options in the KC metro area. I try to climb at Cliff Drive as frequently as I can so if either of you ever want a partner I always up for a session down there. Cheers.

P.S. My avatar is from Cliff Drive

Count me in!

What days work best for you? I'm pretty flexible. I'd imagine early climbs are best weather wise.

Alright I have a friend flying in from Seattle this week who will be flying in my crash pad...

Anyone interested in trying out the Swope Boulders either for a sunrise or sunset climb?

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
