ARK so far...
Last Thursday, my buddy Tom C and I decided to roll out of Denver and head into the Ozark Mountains in northern Arkansas. The area around Horseshoe Canyon Ranch has gotten a good bit of publicity the last few years and it is about time I came down to see what all the fuss was about. Not disappointed at all - The bouldering here is amazing.
Been here for a week now and am finally taking a full rest day. The climbing is so good that I literally can not stop. I got started bouldering on sandstone around Chattanooga, TN and it is a lot like the bouldering here. The boulders in ARK tend to all be on the steep side and the climbing much more dynamic. Come here with some good contact strength!
With two more full days of climbing left, hopefully a few more lines will fall so I can return next season to try all the others.
Getting a lot of footage so keep an eye out for an ARK bouldering short in the future. Here’s a few shots I’ve taken during the trip.
