Access Issue: No New Route Development & Existing Route Impacts.
Details
No new route development is allowed until further notice. On July 19, 2019, the US Forest Service issued a notice that it would no longer allow the installation of new bolts or the creation of new climbing routes after manufactured routes were established, then subsequently removed/altered by climbers. In addition, the bolts/fixed anchors on an estimated 50 climbs at Ten Sleep have been affected in some manner that may or may not make them unsafe to climb. The list of altered routes can be found in a drop down on the main, "Ten Sleep Canyon" homepage. The US Forest Service, Powder River Ranger District, is actively working with the local LCO, the Bighorn Climbers' Coalition and Access Fund to develop a sustainable framework for route standards and a Climbing Management Plan for the canyon's future.
Description
This is the reason you came all the way up here, and it doesn't get much prettier. The techy lieback start will get your attention right off the bat as you smear your feet and slap your way up the overhanging blue and beige wall. The climbing gets powerful as you figure out how to change from leaning left to right at the crux. Amazing pinching on tufa-like holds follow the crux. Keep it together for some more crimping and use of crack/ runnel feature climbing and you will have climbed one of the most unique 5.13s at Tensleep. It is a shame there aren't more like this.
