Lost Wall

Wyoming > Ten Sleep Canyon
Warning Access Issue: RAPTOR CLOSURES: MOBY DICK AREA & NO NEW ROUTE DEVELOPMENT DetailsDrop down

Description

First established in 2010, these routes were developed by over the past decade by Jon Dory, John Durkin, Greg Hand, and Paul Heyliger unless otherwise noted. Although there is evidence of recent development, the Lost Wall has not been heavily visited since 2011 & 2012, but it worthy of a visit in Mid Summer when wanting cooler and shady options on a hot day. These routes have not been climbed in some time, and have seen a minimal amount of comfortizing and traffic, so might climb a bit sharper and more au naturel than other manufactured routes as of late. They are being posted now in Summer 2019 so it does not appear we are violating the recent USFS regulations.

See-Say Wall: At the far left end of Lost Wall is a short wall of good rock capped by a ledge with a tree. Five routes exist on this panel.

Get Me to the Chert on Time (5.8)

Dolomite colossus  (10d)

Fresh Squeezed (12a), 10 bolts

Alcove: Two routes are in the alcove just above and left of the Wall of Awesome. The tree that is now only a stump never bothered us, but someone disagreed.

Missing Shirt (10b), 11 bolts,

Get Your Feet Wet (11b/c), layback flake to bulge. 8 bolts.

Wall of Awesome. The name was coined by Mike Williams, and denotes the first huge wall with the lone pine tree on the ledge, and the obvious arching crack one encounters from the approach.

Smoke Monster (12a/b)

Days of Yore (10a),

Unknown (think this is a Mike Williams route that heads to upper wall).

If you must know (10a)

Push the Button (12c)

Cold Water for a Thirsty Soul (11a)

Many of the boulder problems in the talus to the right of Wall of Awesome were established by John Durkin in the Summers of 2007, 2008 & 2009.

Getting There

Approach as you would for The Ark. At the top of the final steep section (after the switchbacks) as you approach the cliff, look for a rock on the left side of the trail with cairns. Behind this is a typical Bighorns shelf that almost looks like a road. Follow this with just enough cairns to the north. You will approach a huge main wall just north of a massive boulder field, which contains the final half-dozen routes on the climbers right side of Lost Wall.
