- best months
Scheuler's Ferry is a climbing area in Missouri, about 1.8 miles from the town of Saint Thomas. It sits right next to two other climbing areas, Bluff One "Dihedral Area" and Bluff One - The Amphitheater, both about 0.1 mile away, so the whole cluster makes a compact base for a day of sport and trad climbing. The area has four routes, with sport climbing making up the bulk of them. Winter Soldiers is a 5.9+ sport route, and Balancing Act is a 5.11a sport route. Crack of Dawn is a 5.10- trad route. The grades run from about 5.9 to 5.11a, so the area suits climbers looking for a range of challenges on the same crag. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Jefferson City show May highs around 75°F and October highs around 69°F, while July highs reach about 88°F.
