Default Rock climbers?

Sport for me when I can here in Colorado. hit Boulder and Clear Creek Canyons when possible. Have only been leading for about a year.

Awesome. I have been climbing indoors for about a year. Just started leading at the end of the season last year. My favorite is bouldering though. Hoping to make it outside for the first time this spring/summer.

Used to climb quite a bit in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, but there really aren't any rocks or cliffs out here in Kansas. So its definitely been a while - miss it!

I've heard there are some decent places in Missouri. A buddy of mine set several routes out there and has a good guidebook out. His name is Shawn burns and the book is missouri limestone select.

a great resource is mountainproject.com this site lets you search the globe for climbing locations, you'll be surprised how many places to climb.

SuperTopo is also a good place. Haven't been out in years.

I did this back in high school, but with my knee, and well fatness I can't do it anymore. Which really sucks, I am in Germany and the Alps have some great spots. Might do some light sumit climbing in the Alps this summer if I can drop a few more pounds. Down from 230 too 215 after about a month of working out and eating right.
