Description

DeSoto is a nice area in the Mulberry Valley, with a large amount of great technical boulders that favor body tension and footwork above normal Arkansas thuggery. With 0 approach time and a high amount of boulders, its a surprise this area isn't more popular than it is.

Getting There

From the junction of Hwy 23 and Hwy 215, turn onto 215 headed east and drive for 9.6 miles. Turn left on an unmarked dirt road after a house with a school bus. Drive for almost 2 miles and park at one of the pullouts. It's right there.

Guidebook

This area is documented very well in the Arkansas Bouldering Guidebook by Cole Fennel.
