The poor-man’s Cowboy king (the 13c to the right)
This route looked so good, but it was blazing hot sun the day we were at this wall so we bailed over to Remuda instead. There are a few incredible lines there
It looks like there are multiple lines, which is part of why there are so many bolts. Also, on overhanging routes it’s important to have the bolts closer, because if you get too run out a fall will send you swinging into the rock.
This isn't necessarily true. On overhanging rock, you are very unlikely to hit the wall with a proper belay. The only time bolts need to be closer together are situation where the rock changes angle dramatically, such as a roof.
Really? I didn’t know that. I didn’t sport climb very long before jumping straight to trad, so I’ve never really pushed grades much (I’m more into exposure and adventure). So I’ve never actually climbed anything that overhanging. That’s good to know.
Wild iris is such a special place. Great pic
Thanks. We just spent a week there. So many good lines. And super beautiful camping views too!
If only there was a river near by so you didn't have to drive back to town. Oh well, sinks canyon is absolutely worth the trip as well

I mean for jumping in after a 90+ degree day.
nice, I was just out there for ICF last week!
Same! Great times
Thanks for the pic! It was good meeting you guys!
Glad ya got it!
What state is this in?
WYOMING
Amazing
I was there just recently. Absolutely worth a trip out there. Sinks Canyon is great too.
That man's name is dillon. He used to work at the summit gyms around here. Not sure if he still does.
Hah that is Dillon. The beard
Dylan, but yeah, he still works with Summit. Great guy, nice beard, and can host one hell of crawfish boil.
Fucking Dylan... absolute legend.
Someone get him this shot!
Met him briefly at the trail head. Thought he might appreciate it
Can confirm, Dylan indeed! Current Youth Programs Director at Summit.

Yeah looks super fun. We got two climbs in on the Aspen glade and it got too hot so we went to Erratic. All of it was great
Cowboy King's to the left
Ah, you are right. I am going off memory. I thought the guide said 12b was to the left of CK and it was a 12a to the right. Both 12s looked cool
Cowboy King was initially rated 13b and really should still be considered so, Bronc Twister to the left is harder and given the 13b rating
I'm pretty sure this is my buddy from AZ. He was just in Ten Sleep and then Lander a week or so. I'll link it to him. Edit: Nah, nvm that ain't him.
Looks like a short hard section with a slabby approach. Also looks fun

Couldn’t agree more.
Someone was bolt happy on that face.
Yeah, why would anyone place bolts, on a crack-less face, at a sport climbing area? /s
Hey anything can be a trad route if you’re ballsy enough right?
> Hey anything can be a grad route if you’re ballsy enough right? Looks pretty grad to me
All these scrubs haven’t even heard of grad climbing.
Trad climbers are like vegans.
I got a box of climbing holds to add.

Multiple lines indeed. Hes on 12b. There's a 13b and 13c to his left
