About Sam's Throne

Sam's Throne is Arkansas's Ozark climbing showpiece — 527 routes on aesthetically pleasing Boston Mountain sandstone (Pennsylvanian, same family as Cumberland Plateau) situated on an exposed ridge with pine forests below, in the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest just south of Mt. Judea on Highway 123. Predominantly traditional ethics with some sport routes. Sub-areas: Cave Creek, Candy Mountain, Valley of the Blind. Kent General Store in Mt. Judea stocks climbing essentials (tape, carabiners) — invaluable given the remote location. Free USFS access. Cumberland sandstone wet-rock ethic applies.
