Arkansas > North-Central A… > Sam's Throne &… > Sam's Throne > 7. The Throne > Poison Ivy Wall

Description

Climb the ever steepening dihedral crack as it slims from hands/fists to thin hands and fingers. Classic route on excellent rock.

Location

This is the very apparent dihedral crack.

Protection

Gear to 3 or 3.5". I think there are bolts now as an anchor. If not, rap down trees or walk over to the walkdown near the Patio Wall.
