Pedestal Rocks, Arkansas

Hello...
I recall going to Pedestal Rocks (South of Jasper, Arkansas), years ago, and doing some climbing.
I think it was mostly bouldering, but I do recall climbing on the pedestals.
Does anyone know if there are any bolted routes, out there?
The pedestals would be fun to sport climb.
I didn't see anything on the MP maps.
Thanks...
JJ

I think there might be a bolt or two on one pedestal. if not, it was on another wall down the way.  either way, there is no real reason to climb these things.  they are mostly choss, the climbing would not be good, and you would be damaging the aesthetics of a very popular hiking area for no real reason.  I, and most Arkansas climbers, would highly discourage you from climbing that stuff.  There is plenty to climb in Arkansas.
