Central AR Climbing:
Here are some directions and info on a few crags in the Central AR area.
This info was taken from Rockclimbing.com Check them out!

Cove Mountain:
Quantity of Routes: Week
Camping: Free
General Information: This most intense collection of routes in AR. Only about a dozen routes bolted up. The cliff is a flat overhang at 125 degrees for 35 to 70 feet. Lots of potential for hard routes (for Superman or Sharma?). Three routes have never been redpointed in four to five years of effort, but every move goes. Not for the weak.
Directions: South of Petit Jean Mountain off of its west end and about 5 minutes down the road. The crag is obvious (east side of highway and north side of rock).

I looked for this area and couldn't find it. Climbing is prohibited in Petit Jean State park. Maybe this place is just outside the park? Anyone know? email me. .

Brock Mountain:
Quantity of Routes: Week
Camping: Free
General Information: Over 40 sport routes from 5.8 to 5.12d. Lots of fun
