Description
Folks have been climbing at Baldwin since 1993. It is a beautiful dolomite cliff, about 15 miles outside of Lander. It's well described in Lander Sport Climbs by Steve Bechtel. Baldwin Creek boasts the best rock in Lander and a high concentration of hard clip ups. There are about 60 routes ranging from 5.10d to 5.14c.
The cliff faces due south and you can't get there in the winter as the road is closed for elk habitat management. It can be brutally hot here, even on cool days in the fall. There's no shade, the approach road requires a 4 wheel drive vehicle, and it's a bit of a hike to get to the cliff. If you get good conditions here you'll have one of the best days of climbing ever; if not you will ask yourself why god hates rock climbers.
Getting There
Leave Lander on the Baldwin Creek/Squaw Creek loop. Take a dirt road at the far end of the loop and start switchbacking up towards Shoshoni Lake. The road gets really bad at the top of the switchbacks. You park at a small pull off near a hidden kiosk.
Approach beta: From the hidden kiosk, follow a faint trail through the forest to a stair case over a fence right before a meadow. Once you reach the meadow, trend straight/right towards the big downed tree (look for cairns). Follow the very faint trail eventually skirting trees to your left. From here you will eventually reach the top of the hillside marked with a large rock stack. Follow the trail down and right across the hillside to some trees where the trail switches back and trends back left leading down to the top of the cliff band. Follow the steep trail down and left to the climbing.
New downed trees are common every year and the trail can be very difficult to find with a fresh coat of snow.
