Horse Pens 40 is a veritable bouldering resort. With camping located 100’ from the boulderfield, heated bathrooms and showers, and an on site restaurant and convenience store, HP40 is great vacation spot. Oh, and it has some of the most unique bouldering you’ll find anywhere. Bulbous slopers make for crazy squeeze problems, hard top outs and a style of climbing you don’t find anywhere else. A compact field of about a hundred sandstone boulders offers ~450 established problems, with a wide range of difficulties. Access Horse Pens 40 is privately owned and charges a $5 per day entrance fee or $10 per night to camp and climb. Dogs are not permitted. For details and additional park rules visit http://horsepens40.tripod.com/. Seasons While you can climb at HP40 year round, the summer months may be hot and uncomfortable. If you want to send, crisp winter days offer the best conditions. You’ll be amazed at how much easier it is to stick to the slopers. Accommodations Camping is available at Horse Pens for $10 per person per night. There’s water, heated bathrooms and showers and the camp store sells firewood. Food There is a restaurant on site and the camp store has a limited selection of groceries. Back down the mountain, at exit 166 on the I59, are a couple of restaurants. Exit 156 has a Walmart where you can purchase groceries. Geology The boulders are sandstone and extensive water erosion has left characteristic features such as runnels and bulbous slopers. Distractions Horsepens is somewhat remote so you may just want to spend your rest days hanging out and hiking around the boulder field. There’s WiFi at the Subway at exit 166 from the I59. |
