The Land Beyond is a climbing area in Arkansas, about 2.5 miles from the town of Mount Sherman. It sits among several other climbing spots, including Land Beyond Boulders, North Forty Boulders and Warm Up Boulder, all within about 0.1 mile, making it easy to string together a day of climbing on different rock. The climbing here is largely sport, with 19 sport routes and one trad route among the 20 listed. Grades run from 5.6 to 5.11c, with the median around 5.9. Some of the named routes include Hanging Judge (5.6), The Kindergarten Pimp (5.9), Brat Holes (5.10c) and Something for Sofia (5.11c). For a change from the rock, the Buffalo River lies about 3 miles away and offers river fishing. The Little Buffalo River, roughly 4 miles off, is a canoeing destination, and the Buffalo River Trail is about 7 miles away for hiking. Ozark Campground, about 8 miles from the area, provides a place to stay overnight.
