Slabtown is a climbing area in Missouri's Harry Truman Recreation Area, managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. It sits among a cluster of named climbing walls, with Missoureality Wall, Crescent Wall and Stealth Wall all about 0.1 mile away. That makes it easy to pair with other routes in the immediate area. The climbing here runs from about 5.7 to 5.10d, with sport and mixed styles making up most of the 10 routes. The hardest is Hunky Dory at 5.10d, and the easiest is Raider's of the Chossed Arc, a trad route at 5.7. The area also has a mixed route called Centipede at 5.9+. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the nearby Osceola weather station show October highs around 70°F with lows near 46°F, and May highs around 77°F. July and August average highs near 90°F. Long Dog Wall is about 1.7 miles away, and Coon Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 6 miles off.
