Description

Some of the best pocket pulling in Cody for sure. There are about two dozen high quality sport pitches, most of which have clip and lower sport anchors. Most of the routes are short at 50 feet or less, with low cruxes. Grades range from 5.10 to 5.12d. The southern aspect and grueling hike make this a good candidate for fall, (nice) winter, and spring days, though often a bit hot for summertime.

Getting There

Park as for the Bridge Bands, at the parking lot just west of the bridge in the canyon. Begin the hike for the Bridge Bands and after about 100 feet turn left. This trail traverses under the scree slide to the left of the Bridge Bands. Let the switchbacks begin, did I mention that this is a 30 minute straight uphill battle to the good band in the center of the cliff. Toward the top, cross the scree heading east and traverse back and forth along the ledge system. The first wall is The Hideout and the area farther east is the Bandit Wall.
