Arkansas Trip, Pt. 1- Rock City, KS


Erika and I spent the 4th of July weekend road tripping to and from Arkansas in order to attend her friend's wedding. Our first stop along the way was Rock City, Kansas. This anomaly of sandstone eggs is located about 20 minutes north of I-70, near Salina. Having passed by the exit numerous times during cross country drives, I decided it was finally time to see what this place was all about. Though certainly not a climbing destination, this place is worth checking out for a few hours if you're in the area. These high quality sandstone blocks are adorned with some incredibly unique features and offer about 2 to 3 dozen problems in the v0-v4 range (depending on your creativity). Not bad for Kansas!
