Climbing Access Coming to Fitzgerald Mountain with ARCC, NWA Trailblazers and the Access Fund

Northwest Arkansas is getting a new rock climbing area this Spring, opened in partnership by the Arkansas Climbers Coalition, Northwest Arkansas Trailblazers, and the Access Fund.

  • Enter Fitzgerald Mountain: The area will be on property owned by the NWA Trailblazers near Fitzgerald Mountain in Springdale and includes bouldering and climbing access.
  • Smart infrastructure: This work is designed to set climbing areas up for long-term sustainable access that protects the environment and includes stone staircases, retaining walls, durable trails, and appropriate drainage.
