The Crescent/War Bonnet Area is a bouldering area in Arkansas, about 3 miles from the town of Mount Sherman. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Glass Bowl Area, Miho Boulder and Warm-Up Boulder all within about a tenth of a mile. The area is a compact, close-together set of boulders rather than a single route, and its climbing is all on rock rather than on a trail. The climbing here is bouldering only, with nine routes spread across the area. The grades run from V1 to V9, with the median at V4. Among the named routes are Theraflu, I Love You (V1), The Crescent (V3), Unearthed (V4) and Ruthless Arete (V9). The boulders make an easy addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding area. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 72°F and October highs around 67°F, while July and August average about 85°F. The Buffalo River is about 3.4 miles away, and the Little Buffalo River offers canoeing about 3.7 miles off. The Buffalo River Trail is roughly 7 miles away, and Ozark Campground is about 8.5 miles away.
