Sam's Throne, Arkansas (October, 1997)

Tim Childs, the owner of Cliffhangers, was the one running the show that day.  Aside from being a climber Tim was a good teacher and worked great with beginning climbers.  He knew exactly where to go to find the right climbs!

All I can tell you is how to get to the Sam's Throne area.  Take 123 south for 3-4 miles.  After you complete the steep switchbacks, and head around some large, sweeping, "mountainesque" curves look to the right for a turn off that heads into a rough (dirt) parking lot with lots of campsites.  Click here for a map from the guidebook.
