The Keeper wall is a bouldering area in Kansas, about half a mile from Wichita. It sits right next to the city, making it an easy stop for climbers who want to get on the rock without driving far. The area has two bouldering routes, both rated between V5 and V6 on the V scale. Twit Boy is a V5, and Tendon Crusher is a V6. Both were first ascended on May 26, 2021. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Wichita show October highs around 70°F with lows near 47°F, while July highs reach about 92°F. Central Riverside Park, another climbing area, is about 0.6 miles away.
