The Sudden, Unexpected Fall

A sudden slip of the hands on the two slopers resulted in the dreaded "chalk blow".

Hahaha...nice pic. I'm guessing that guy doesn't wear his chalk bag while bouldering any more.

I had a comment up earlier on this post, but it must have been edited down or out.

Yes, it is in Kansas. Its called "Rock City". Just north of Salina is a field with these odd, ball shaped boulders. Absolutely terrible bouldering, but you're in Kansas so its a 5 star location!

I went thru there two summers ago and really enjoyed it. Blazing hot and would have been more fun with others people besides the tourists looking at me thinking I was crazy.

I've heard some good stuff about Rock City. I'll have to check it out next time I'm passing through

Otherwise a drive through Kansas rivals only Nebraska for falling asleep at the wheel mid afternoon. They all blend in with eastern half of Colorado.
