Wave Roof is a climbing area in Missouri, about 1.7 miles from the town of Tiff. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with K: North End Boulders, Dystopia and Den (North End) all about 0.1 mile away. That makes it easy to pair with other climbs in the same small area. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Potosi show May highs around 74°F and September highs around 78°F, with October cooling to about 68°F. That station sits roughly 500 feet lower than the climbing area, so temperatures here run a little cooler. Hikers can find the 1000 Steps Trail and Mooner's Hollow Trail about 6 miles away. Paddlers will reach Pike Run, about 8 miles off.
