Horseshoe Canyon Ranch

On the Titanic Boulder. Classic 5.8 Arete.

Description 

Horseshoe Canyon Ranch (HCR) offers some of the finest sandstone in Arkansas with nearly 250 routes ranging from 5.5 to 5.14. The majority of the routes are fully bolted sport climbs, but there are also many fine trad routes and a plethora of good boulder problems. The cracks at the Ranch are some of the best in Arkansas and will challenge even the saltiest of crack masters.

Surreal sandstone climbing in a spectacular setting with all the amenities of a four-star dude ranch make this one of the most unique and enjoyable crags you will ever visit.

Getting There 

HCR is located approximately 7.0 miles west of Jasper and 6.5 miles east of Ponca on the south side of State Highway 74. Jasper is approximately 25 miles south of Harrison and 65 miles north of Russellville on Scenic State Highway 7.

A guidebook for the area is available at www.bostonmountainpress.com.
