Description

St. Philippine Park is owned by the Archdiocese and is open to climbers, currently. Located approximately 150 yds south west of parking on Indian Well Trail, you will find the ridge of boulders. When the Indians pilgrimed here they took refuge and shelter under the overhung boulders. Saint Rose left a major impact upon these Indians, and stayed here at the establishment for a short time before leaving. It was said she would sit on top of the boulders and pray all night. A very unique Kansas bouldering experience can be held here now, on the unique limestone... Boulder problems from v0-v6/7? are currently established, 70+ growing problems.
Please pack out what you pack in, and respect the environment you are in, as the care taker to the property has been very welcoming to climbers. Enjoy...
