Kansas City Bouldering

We had another very unseasonably warm day today, so while Harper and Tiffani went to a birthday party, Tucker and I decided to go climb some boulders (well really just Tucker, I just watched and made sure he did not fall).

There may not be any mountains in the Kansas City area, but we do have lots of huge rocks. Most of these rocks are a type of limestone called Bethany Falls Limestone that erodes away from hill sides in huge slabs. They can be as much as 20 feet tall and represent one of the few rock climbing opportunities around here. Now that Tucker has climbed the wall at Dicks, he considers himself to be an expert rock climber and he had a great time climbing today.
