The Undercut Area is a climbing area in Missouri, about half a mile from the town of Monegaw Springs. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, so it works well as a stop in a day of exploring the surrounding crags. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Osceola show October highs around 70°F with lows near 46°F, and May highs around 77°F. July is the warmest month, with typical highs near 90°F. Burns Side, The Refuge and Zig Zag Area all lie about a tenth of a mile away, and West End is about 0.2 miles off.
