After mantle crux fun move to get to the undercling and clip. Then juggy overhanging fun to the anchors! Well bolted and anchors are bomber. To the left of the anchors is an awesome ledge to sit on and take in the river basin.  Some say this is the best 5.9 in Central Missouri.

This route seems like it was a work in progress and never completely bolted.  Even if viewed as a mixed route the few and far between gear placements make this one a Top Rope classic.  With a blank 12 foot section, most parties start the route proper low and traverse right to make the Lamentation mantel move then traverse back left to finish the spectacular finish around the left side of the roof, fun moves up top with some some exposed great positioning out above the Missouri River basin.

Route to the right of Jump Shot.  Powerful and sustained climbing on solid limestone.

Just right of Lamentations. Some intricate face moves on bomber limestone appeared below a few chossy flakes that were pulled off. A little run out above the second bolt (head up and left) on questionable rock.

Interesting moderate and steep climbing leads to a small cave (that an owl occasionally hangs out in). From the cave head left and then up to a heart-shaped pocket before traversing back right under the roof.

Thin edges and balance (Watch for possible loose rock down low) lead to mantle move then up a awesome shoot that takes creativity and footwork.

The crux is the upper moves above the ledge midway up.

In between Sling Shot and Pickled Rope Balogna.  Thin face climb that leads to a section where a undercling once existed. You have to jump.

Work some left flakes and ledges with a crux topout pulling over a bulge to a standing ledge. Well Protected but watch for some loose rock.  As with all Missouri routes it will get better and cleaner with traffic.

This route is the obvious slightly overhanging chimney-crack at the far left (North) of the Sport Wall before the down ramp back to the trail.  

  Protection is Poor 

  This route was first discovered by Duncan Crosby and is named for the bongs he left in the crack on the first attempt.  It is easy to identify as it is the only large, overhanging chimney-crack at the far north end of the bluff, about 250 feet left of Jamwich Sandwhich. Stem up between the two walls and move into the crack. Work up the crack to a rest on a good ledge. This is the last decent place to rest, and rest is strongly advised. Move up through the two large chockstones above and mantle into the small alcove. Turn the last overhang and work up a crack to the top. 

  Note:  This climb overhangs from bottom to top and it is very important to use long runners at the bottom to avoid disastrous rope drag at the top.  It is easily top-toped and due to the severity of this rote has only been led two or three times since the fall of 1978.

About The Sport Wall: 

  This area is to extreme climber's left, where you will find a concentration of sport routes, most are hard requiring a decent amount of strength to conquer. Here the routes are steep and technical. Coming from the Meadows area the routes start with Pickled Rope and end with the Bongeater crack.
