on belay for my cousin in capen park. was the middle of october so the stone was pretty chilled. and of course in turn the friction was our primary advesary this day

topo as you enter the walk-down area

My friend Michelle trying a new technique to get up the beginning of Open Book.

This photograph was taken at Capen Park in Columbia, MO. This climbing area was easily acessible, just as described on the sight. Sorry for the Sub-standard quality...I took it with my phone. You can still tell that the area is really beautiful.

ouch

reaching for the knife edge

Ryan climbing Missouri Breaks

Had a guy who goes to MU draw this up for me - it isn't perfect, but it helps. This is the very first cliff you get to as you come down the trail. Also, there is a route between the 5.6 and the 5.11 which isn't on the topo. I haven't climbed it yet, and don't know a grade for it, but it doesn't look like it could be harder than 5.8

These cliffs are further to the left along the stream (upstream). Once again, I don't know the route names, but maybe this will motivate someone to post a more definitive topo, and at least this will help a tad.

just after the crux of next to nubbin

I think the High Traverse goes for V1-2 . it's not really someting you want to do alone and without a crash pad since the landing is a little rough if you blow the crux. Match on this slick sloper and go WAY out to the left for the jug
