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 bolted route directly right of Soul Bossa Nova. This climb is still pretty fresh and should be climbed with caution as rocks are still exfoliating from the surface. Begin on a black, techy slab and gain the easier terrain a couple of bolts above, continue up and onward into the great unknown, plant your feet, rip those pockets off the wall, and power upward gaining some better holds.
As with many routes at the Powers Wall, this route has an extension (5 bolts I believe) leading you up into the thinner and much harder belly of the wall. For the full package rack up 15 draws plus anchors and prepare to fight for this one.
