Access Issue: This area is designated as Charon Details

Currently the the US Fish and Wildlife Service is reviewing the Comprehensive Conservation Plan and reviewing activities for compatibility. Contact the Access Fund or the Wichita Mountains Climber's Coalition for more information on how you can get involved in keeping the tradition of climbing safe in the Wildlife Refuge. Use extra care to avoid doing anything to change the natural resources in any way.

Access Issue: Access is always an issue here. Details

Please do not litter and observe all regulations. We had to fight to regain access at one time, and we don't want to lose the privilege again. Local ethics and refuge regulations are that no bolting is permitted unless expressly authorized by the park. Leave the hammer and nails at home, no fixed gear please. Everything will go clean.

Description

Yellow Snake Hotel And Saloon is located on the northern slope of Sunset Peak ridge and just a few minutes uphill from HWY 49. Park one parking pullout east of The Bird Trap or one parking pullout west of Western Bacon Steezburger parking where you can see Pear And Apple and Crab Eyes simultaneously.

There are numerous highball lines to be done and a handful of harder trad climbs as well. Catches shade in the afternoons so it’s a nice hideout from the heat. A hidden chimney room sits behind this main wall.

130 years ago Beer City was a famous little tent town known for wild times in NW Oklahoma. Pussycat Nell owned the Yellow Snake Hotel And Saloon. m.okgazette.com/oklahoma/be…

Getting There

Park and head back east on the road for 100-200 yds. Head south uphill through elk trails and continue flanking the slope south eastward until you come upon nice boulders and a corner crag with a big sideways V in the east facing wall. This is Yellowsnake Hotel And Saloon. The best path is much easier to see heading downhill where the elk trails are visible from above.
