1. Schoolhouse

Arkansas > Northwest Arkan… > Fitzgerald Moun… > Fitzgerald S Area

Description

The first (northern-most) area at Fitzgerald South. Excellent easy to moderate climbing on mostly vertical rock. Some steeper routes the closer you are to the Swing Station. Beware loose rock, rock quality varies from ok to excellent and some routes are still shedding holds. Stick clip and helmet are recommended when climbing at Fitzgerald.

Getting There

Park at and approach from Bayyari Park. Follow the Stage Coach Trail loop east, crossing the private drive (do not trespass), find the technical climbing sign and take the climber trail south until you meet the cliff. The Schoolhouse is the first area you'll find, look for the obvious tiered belay areas.
