Welcome to Fitzgerald South. Everything here is set up for lead climbing with very comfortable distances between the bolts and Mussy hooks to be lowered off.  You'll find a wide range of climbs from 5.3 to the potential of 5.14, ranging from 25 to 50 feet tall. Please be aware that although the rock is relatively hard, it still has fracturing areas and potential for rock fall. It would be advised to wear helmets. The proximity to cities and towns in Northwest Arkansas makes this an ideal location to get a few hours of climbing in with a partner and still get a full day of work. The steeper sections will most likely be dry even in a downpour. The combination of west-facing and the tree canopy gives it plenty of shade for comfortable summer Climbing, which extends the season well into the heart of the Heat, making it a true 4 season destination. This area is owned by the Trailblazers, a local nonprofit, and is open to the public. The development of this area was a collaboration with the Trailblazers Access Fund and the Arkansas Climbers Coalition. This was all supported through a grant from the Walton Family Foundation.

Areas are numbered in order of approach, from north to south.
