Description Suggest change

Rogers Canyon is a limestone canyon located near Laramie, Wyoming. The climbing is typically short, but intense, on slab, vertical, or slightly overhanging terrain. Rogers Canyon has hosted climbers for more than 40 years. While originally the site of top roping and bouldering, there has been a significant influx of fully equipped sport routes starting in the early 2000's.

Rogers is not a destination, however it is a convenient locals crag with climbs ranging from 5.8 to possibly 5.14- (and a few open projects).

A free PDF guide may be found here.

The Local Climbing Organization for Rogers Canyon is the South East Wyoming Climbers Coalition. Please consider donating to SEWYCC in order to help support climbing around Laramie.

Getting There Suggest change

Go North out of Laramie on 9th Street, which becomes Rogers Canyon Road. Follow this road approximately 10 miles. The road eventually winds into Rogers Canyon. Once you are at the entrance to the canyon continue approximately 0.4 miles and then park in the large dirt pullout on the left (North) side of the road. The large blue wall to the South is the Dark Side, and the small cave feature to the North is the Amphitheater.
