Location: WY : Wind River Range : Cirque of the Towers : Warbonnet Peak : Black Elk (5.11a)
By: punkencack When: Aug 3, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Tom: 600 feet is way off. This is a 9 or 10 pitch climb. The scrambling at the top along is 200-300 feet.
Realistically this route is a serious Grade IV. Of the 9 technical pitches, almost all of them are more than 140 feet. This climb is better estimated at 1,200 to 1,450 feet of technical climbing. The descent will take you 1.5+ hours.

There are MOST DEFINITELY rattlesnakes in Sinks Canyon . . . thousands of them, and they are aggressive and DANGEROUS as all get out. They will BITE YOU. More importantly, they will bite your children and your dogs. I've seen them attack a pair of shoes left at the base of the crag. These huge deadly rattlesnakes are no joke . . .
And the recent ARSON has left a bleak landscape of scorched earth, blackened and sunbaked-- a highly attractive reali... more >>

Location: WY : Sinks Canyon
By: punkencack When: May 20, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: From May to August, Sinks Canyon experiences a seasonal Rattlesnake Migration. This is more than just an unusual number of snakes-- they are on the move, traveling in packs of two to nine, and are extremely aggressive. Moreover, they like to follow the line of the cliff as they migrate. It is not unusual to pull over a tough roof move and find yourself face to face with a five foot venomous rattlesnake. The last victim was bitten on the neck. He was dead before his partner finished lowering... more >>
