DescriptionAnyone ready for some backwoods climbing. That's right, there ain't no high alpine to be found here. There's just down and dirty backwoods climbing on high-quality sandstone. Though overlooked for a long time by the big names, the locals haven't complained. Over the years they have put up excellent quality natural lines from the classic dihedral Poison Ivy(5.7+) to harder lines such as Titanic (5.11X) and Bear Bait(5.12- S), all at Sam's Throne. In addition to trad routes, the Horseshoe Canyon Ranch hosts a number of excellent quality bolted lines of all difficulties, even up to The Prophet(5.14a). Getting ThereAhh, the midwest.

Hackberry Crack 5.9+ AR : Horseshoe Canyon Ranch : Confederate Cracks
Excellent Hands splitter. Pass a flared section about 15' up, then jam through the crux bulge. Great jams from bottom to top. Only complaint is that it's not longer....[more] Browse More Classics in AR
