Like an outdoor climbing gym, Horseshoe Canyon of northern Arkansas is riddled with chickenheads, incuts, crimps, jugs, and plates. It's notoriety continues to gain traction and the canyon is quickly becoming internationally known for having the best moderate-grade sport climbing in the world. Not only that, everyone is taking notice of the world-class bouldering, from classic moderates to futuristic projects film crews can't turn away from. And what's more, all 900+ routes and boulder problems are housed within a compact canyon with a fully-functioning dude ranch, including amenities like cabins, hot tubs, a lodge, gear shop, a half-mile long zipline, camping, etc., all with less than a 10-minute walk to the rock. The annual 24-Hours of Horseshoe Hell Climbing Competition is also held here every year. Be sure to check out what's new as this exhaustive guide has more routes and problems than any other and is the official book of the 24HHH.

Bouldering in the Natural State has long been one of South's best-kept climbing secrets. Since the early 2000s, many climbers have heard of the majestic boulders that line the hills of the Ozarks, but until now the majority of that information was word-of-mouth and kept to a handful of locals. The long-awaited Arkansas Bouldering details ten of Arkansas's best areas, with thorough problem descriptions, crag directions-including QR codes and GPS coordinates-and professional, full-color photography. This book has all the info and psyche you'll need to find and send that boulder problem you've been hearing so much about. Areas included: Horseshoe Canyon Ranch, Lincoln Lake, Area 74, Desoto, Hurricane, Cowell, Sam's Throne, Cave Creek, Richland Creek, and Hobo Beach

Arkansas Bouldering

This 400 page tome in the first full-color comprehensive guidebook to the state, including nearly 1500 climbs and 350 select boulder problems, serving as the definitive guidebook for all climbers calling Arkansas their home climbing state, which also includes climbers from Missouri, Louisiana, eastern Nebraska and Oklahoma. Once thought to be exclusively a ground-up, trad dominated state, Arkansas has seen a revitalization in development in the last ten years thanks to areas such as Horseshoe Canyon Ranch, Candy Mountain and Dardanelle Rock, to name a few. Because of the range of climbing from beginner friendly jug-hauls to unsent project test-pieces, along with the wildfire-like development, Arkansas is quickly becoming a national as well as international climbing destination for sport, trad and bouldering alike.
