Mount Arkansas, standing at 13,795 feet, is just a few feet shy of being classified as a fourteener, but don’t let that fool you—this peak offers a significantly more complex climbing experience. The technical challenges of Arkansas often surpass those of traditional fourteeners, demanding not only physical endurance but also mental resilience and strategic preparation. Climbers may encounter altitude sickness, difficult conditions, and the need for greater stamina than expected, making it a comprehensive challenge for any adventurer. Whether you’re navigating its rugged terrain or managing the psychological demands of high-altitude climbing, Mount Arkansas proves to be a formidable and rewarding pursuit​

Topics we typically cover include:

• Trip planning
• Navigation with map & compass and/or GPS device
• Emergency shelter construction
• Movement skills
• Self arrest
