Description Suggest change

The climbing on the granite in Sinks is amazing. The limestone gets most of the attention, but there are excellent trad and sport lines here like Foundation and Full Tilt, which are some of the best of their grades in Lander. The crisp 90 degree edges, pegmatite intrusions, pinches, and bucket jugs make up a notably diverse set of holds.

Getting There Suggest change

Drive up Sinks Canyon Road past the limestone to the parking lot for Bruce's Bridge and the popular waterfall trail. Approach varies by crag.
