I don't know if oyur area is too rural, but it might be worthwhile to look at meetup.com and search for rock climbing. My Detroit rock climbing club has member from a couple hours away. They don't necessarily come to all of our local gym climbs, but they are going on trips with us and meeting other climbers closer to them.

Try looking into a local chapter of the American Alpine Club?
