Access Issue: No New Route Development & Existing Route Impacts. Details

No new route development is allowed until further notice. On July 19, 2019, the US Forest Service issued a notice that it would no longer allow the installation of new bolts or the creation of new climbing routes after manufactured routes were established, then subsequently removed/altered by climbers. In addition, the bolts/fixed anchors on an estimated 50 climbs at Ten Sleep have been affected in some manner that may or may not make them unsafe to climb. The list of altered routes can be found in a drop down on the main, "Ten Sleep Canyon" homepage. The US Forest Service, Powder River Ranger District, is actively working with the local LCO, the Bighorn Climbers' Coalition and Access Fund to develop a sustainable framework for route standards and a Climbing Management Plan for the canyon's future.

Description

If your wanting to climb in the morning and are looking for shade then this wall is the answer. There are at least a dozen routes here from 5.9 to 5.12. And if your feeling really overheated then just belay someone on Nine Pins or Save The Best For Last for a few seconds. There is a large chimney just to the left of these routes that must be connected to Antarctica or something because the arctic air coming out of it is cold enough to give you frostbite (very strange indeed).

This is a perfect crag for your last day at Ten Sleep, just get in a few pitches and then hit the road!

**The routes Save The Best For Last and Nine Pins were damaged in a massive rockfall in the fall of 2010. The base of the route has at least 10 feet of rock burying it and the first bolt is now at waist level. Also one of the bolts was sheared off and as of the 2013 season still has not been replaced.**

Getting There

If your driving west towards the town of Ten Sleep this is the 3rd pull out on the left after the switchbacks. Cross the road, jump the guard rail and you'll find the trail a little to the left.
