Rocheport is a climbing area in Missouri, sitting about 0.2 miles from the town of Rocheport. It is a small crag with only two routes, both traditional climbs, and it works well as a short stop for climbers already in the area. The two routes are Rocheport Crack, a 5.9, and Bat Hang Roof, a 5.11. Both are traditional, and both were first ascended by KD, with Rocheport Crack in 1980 and Bat Hang Roof in the early 1980s. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Boonville show May highs around 75°F and October highs around 68°F, while July averages climb to about 88°F. Other climbing is close by. Andromeda Buttress and Katy Cliff are both about 4 miles away, and CM: Andromeda is about 4.1 miles away. For a walk, the Tall Grass Prairie Trail is about 3 miles off.
