Middle Basin Rock Climbing

From either Evanston (WY) or Kamas (UT), take the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway. Park at the Hayden Peak/Highline trailhead. Locate the Climbers Trail north east of the upper parking lot. Follow this trail east but instead of heading Northeast to Iron Hayden wall continue heading east looking for the east and west running ridge line aka the Hayden Peak summit trail follow this up and climb over an easy 5th class section and continue up the to the ridge line over looking the Middle Basin... Once you hit the Hayden peak ridge line head south following the ridge until you hit the first major Notch/Couloir. Head east down the couloir for 300ft or so and look up and to the right.. You can't miss it. (Check the Beta photos,Green line).. Alternate Approach - Head east and slightly south from the climbers trail skirting the east/west running ridge line on its south side heading directly to the notch.. Climb the talus field couloir to the ridge and descend the Couloir on the backside.. (Check the beta photo,Red line) I like the first way my partner likes the 2nd way.. both are hard haha.. Expect a 1.5-2hr approach. Hiking boots/poles is a good choice..
