NM: The Petrichor Pit

Sandstone cave that has been uncovered from runoff to the lake. Lip of the cave is about 40 feet long end-to-end, and about 7 feet tall at its center. Area receives filtered sun through surrounding trees throughout the day. Holds remain wet and brittle for a day or so after it has rained. Despite it being a “pit” that needs frequent cleaning of holds - quality climbing can be found here. The Petrichor Pit is the only outdoor feature we could find within 1.5 hours of Kirksville. Treat it with love so future ATSU/Truman students & locals can use it. You’ll want a couple crash pads and ideally a spotter.
