Description

The backside of the W, technically its own separate summit. Named after the historical short story by Annie Proulx about two star crossed sheepherders in the eastern Bighorn Basin.

Getting There

Walk up the Dry Horse Creek Trail to the saddle between Wet and Dry Horse Creek, attain the saddle, then hike west to the base of the Eocene tower. Wrap around the east side of the Eocene on the second highest ledge system to get to the south side routes.
