Sam's Throne, Arkansas (October, 1997)

Climbing in Sam's Throne (or the surrounding area) requires the guidebook.  It is written by Clay Frisbee.  (It is actually out of print as of 2001, but a new edition should be released in the future.)  Since the Forest Service manages forests and doesn't tend to cater to the users (like the Park Service might do) the area is tough to navigate or even find for that matter.

We went with a group from the only local (Springfield) climbing gym--Ozark Mountain Cliffhangers.  There were about 20 of use and we setup in a area with the climb Mel is working on here called White Trash (5.8).
