Crystal Bluff is Arkansas’s latest urban crag situated right above the Arkansas River at Big Rock Quarry.  The crag is located 5 min. from downtown North Little Rock and across the river from downtown Little Rock.  This creates a uniquely convenient place for you to clip in and get climbing.

The area is being developed by the Arkansas Climbers Coalition through a partnership with the city, and is located in a city park. All park rules apply to the climbing areas, including operating hours.

The ARCC is responsible for maintaining the hardware at the crag.  If you encounter any hardware issues, please follow this link and fill out the form.

Routes range from 30′ to 75’+, and the average grade is around 5.9 to 5.10a. with no top access.  All climbs require a competent leader and their own equipment.

Getting there is easy, just take River Road from downtown North Little Rock until you run into the fork in the road with the two gates.  Park there to the left.  If the gravel parking lot is full, please do not park in the grass.  Park up the road in the asphalt lot near the skatepark and boat put-in. Search “Riverview Skatepark” in your maps application and it is about a quarter-mile past.  There is a yellow sign at the base of the approach trail that says Crystal Bluff.
