Vertical face climbing takes you past four bolts, arching slightly left towards the small arete near the top.

Short but fun route up the seasonally wet black streak. Only detracting factor is the shortness - two fun cruxes down low. I would recommend a stick clip if uncomfortable at the grade.

Climb the overhanging handcrack through and over a bulge.  Then, continue in a thin left facing dihedral crack to top out.  Good rock.

Fun climb that is deceptively slopey.  Some small pimples in the rock make for some surprisingly good holds.  Eases into jugs at the top.

15 feet of easy climbing leads to the 1st bolt.  Then, sustained delicate climbing on rounded edges lead past three more bolts to the anchors.  Very fun.

Start below the obvious, left-trending flake and follow that diagonal bolt line along the flake.  Once the flake ends, head straight up through the water streak. This route is pumpy down low with a lot of false jugs.  It becomes very slopey and balancy in the final moves just before the chains.

stick clip the first of 4 bolts and begin a bouldery thin sequence on crimps, a distinct knob and good feat up to the first bolt. the crux comes right after the first bolt, then easies off.

Climb the boulder problem start to the first bolt (stickclip recommended). The climbing eases up but remains enjoyable through 3 more bolts to the independent set of anchors.

Stem and jam the wide crack in the dihedral.

Climb the thin dihedral crack using laybacks, stemming, jamming, or anything that works.  Great route on great rock.  Prone to wetness in the spring.

Next area past the Flat Fields Slab but before the Meat Walls. Contains the Arkansas classic Stems and Seeds. Though the area hosts some great climbing, finding many of these routes dry can be challenging. It is best to check this area in the fall when the runoff isn't so bad. Many of the routes also have sloper/friction cruxes that will feel much easier in colder weather.

 The area offers varying degrees of sun and shade throughout the day, much like the rest of the crag. The west facing walls will have morning shade and afternoon sun, but the canopy does an ok job of shading them.  the east facing walls get a little shade in the morning, get pretty sun blasted during the day, then get a little more shade later in the afternoon.
