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
The most striking and obvious line on the wall takes the 5.9 crack up to a 5.10 crux bulge before the first set of chains. Pitch two climbs out the long left arching crack. You may encounter a small rotten band of rock and a few spots of bird droppings on this one. Can be done in a single monster pitch with a 60M making it one of the longest and nicest 9s in all of Ten Sleep; bring 3 or 4 long runners to mitigate rope drag. Adventure sport climbing at its best!
