C: The Front Range is a climbing area in Missouri, about half a mile from the town of Graniteville. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots and trails, so it works well as a base for exploring the surrounding area. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 74°F and October highs around 68°F, while July highs reach about 86°F. Several climbing areas lie right next door, including D: The Porch, EM: Elephant Rocks SP and G: North Mountain, each about 0.1 mile away. The Braille Trail is also close by.
