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

This area is the deepest back in the Circus canyon and so probably the least crowded of the neighboring walls. As the guidebooks says, these routes are better and more interesting than those in the Raven wall. So if you're climbing 10's, give this a try.

Getting There

This area is deep back through the overgrown grass and bushes in the Circus area. Walk past the Raven Wall, the Ice Plant, Circus Wall and finally the Crazy Pillar. Then keep going. Follow the rough path for a few minutes, climb over some boulders and you'll soon find this area on the right hand side.
