Description 

One of the best walls at Ten Sleep for Morning Shade -- nearly the only one on the 'left'/North side of the canyon. High concentration of routes and many new routes in and being added. You'll find many 'unknown' new routes - Charlie?! Thanks for the Bolting!

After the new routes look for short roof routes on the right -- Little Smokie Goes to the Circus (10d), Sucker Born Every Minute (11d), You Gotta Play to Win (11) etc. The bigger wall up the hill has classics like I Love the Big Top (5.9) and Circus in the Wind a must do 11-

Getting There 

Located mid canyon. Best access from the 5th pullout (on the right). Walk downhill from the pullout and find the obvious trail. Great trail, with steps leads up to the Wall of Denial - check out the arctic chimney issuing freezing air!! Continue past the wall heading into the corridor, passing Raven Wall on the left. A few new routes will appear on the right (not in recent guidebooks), the first lines of 'Lower Circus Wall'. The main wall (in recent guidebooks) is uphill past boulders in the trees.

The Classics

Featured Route For Circus Wall

Circus in the Wind 5.11-  WY : Ten Sleep Canyon : Circus Wall

I climb for routes like this! Five stars! Awesome movement on pockets, sidepulls, crimps will make you grin from ear to ear! A couple of thin moves lead to a sidepull flake near the top. Get ready to rumble as the holds close down to a few crimps and knobs just before the chains....[more]   Browse More Classics in WY
