The closure includes all climbing on the Munitions and Oblivion climbing walls in the Valhalla area.
Nesting raptors can be very aggressive, for your safety and the safety of the birds please respect the closure.
If you have questions, please contact Tracy Pinter, wildlife biologist, at 307-674-2600 or tracy.pinter@usda.gov. Follow us on X (@BighornNF) or like us on Facebook (US Forest Service – Bighorn National Forest).
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
Start up the obvious easy crack system in the center of the wall. Continue straight up through the center of the black and tan bulge in the middle of the wall, moving slightly left toward the top as the angle decreases, then straight up toward the anchor.
Expect reachy, powerful moves on sharp holds through the initial crux bulge for 3 clips. Stay focused up top through easier, but still technical terrain as the angle decreases all the way to the anchor.
