Crystal Bluff at Big Rock Quarry
Crystal Bluff at Big Rock Quarry is a collaborative effort between North Little Rock Tourism and the Arkansas Climbers Coalition. Bringing in climbers from across the nation, Crystal Bluff offers climbing experiences for all, from beginners to experts. The Arkansas Climbers Coalition built the entirety of Crystal Bluff, from route development to trail construction, bolting, and more.
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.
