3. The Marxism Wall

Wyoming > Lander Area > Sinks Canyon > Fairfield Hill > 1. Fairfield East

Description

The climbs here are a bit more challenging than those to the right. There are a variety of long and technically difficult climbs, with many enjoyable options.

Getting There

This area begins several hundred feet from the left turn in the approach trail at the base of the cliff. Look for a break in the bolted lines to the right of this area, with the obvious right-facing dihedral featuring "Noam Chomsky's Lair," and "Sorta Maybe Kinda Wild."
