Arkansas crag. Lots of sport and trad ranging from 5.6 to 5.12+. 90+ developed routes. Tallest routes top out at 80'. Many can be top roped. Camping is available with water and electricity hookups for $14 a night. Primitive sites are not available. A new lodge is also open if you want to stay in a hotel room.
Getting There
Near Paris Arkansas. Go to the top of Mount Magazine on the South Side. There is a visitor center that you need to register at before climbing. They should be able to give you very specific directions. Park at the Hang Glider Launch Site. Walk west untill you see a sign that marks the climbers trail. Follow this until you find a good tree to rap over the edge down the wall.
I would suggest to someone visiting Mt Mag for the first time to be very careful when rappelling from the top as some of the ledges might be too tall for a 50m rope to reach the ground. Taking the West side waterfall walk down would be best or have someone that knows the places to rap down come with you.
