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.

Latest Gear Review

  • Trango Beta Stick Evo Review
    September 26, 2024

    Not feeling confident getting to that first bolt? Or maybe the first bolt is a sizable distance off the ground? Whatever the reason, we recommend using the Trango Beta Stick Evo as way to stick clip the first bolt(s) to keep you safe and climbing. It collapses down into a reasonable size, making it easy to carry in your pack all the while being really easy to use.
