Fourth Horseman

The Fourth Horseman area lies in the heart of the main park and is home to a few good moderate climbs. It feels to be a bit more overlooked than the other nearby areas but still sees a steady stream of traffic. Headless Horseman is probably the most well known climb in the area although there are plenty of other climbs that match its quality.

Location

Located just beyond the Morning Glory Wall and more precisely right after The Peanut with a spire of sorts sitting high along the formation. You'll know you are close when you are passing through the crowds at The Peanut.
