Museum, have you ever done any climbing on Inyan Kara? I have been up there a couple of times and kinda looks like the south face of the tower. I have always meant to get up there and do a route, but have not made it back.

mike we climbed it three times - twice from the north and once from the southeast then followed the rim clockwise to the top.
We did no climbing. I suppose there are a few good pitches....

Yeah, tounge, pine creek, steamboat, the lost city, other stuff on 14. He is even going to include some alpine routes in it I think. He was going to publish through JoJo's press but then that went under, so he is just getting his self publishing under way. Last time I spoke with him (Trevor Bowman) he said that it had just been sent off to the printer. Should be a great addition to that area. So much great rock, very close to town and sheridan is undoubtly one of the better towns to live in WY, IMO. I will make sure and give it a shout out on here when I get a copy. Have you ever met him before?

I have climbed in the Tounge a few times, but it has been about 10 years. The Lost City(or is it the Fallen City) looks awsome, but I have not walked over to it. I am assuming you walk over the hill at the top not through the valley straight across from there. It looks like there are some splitters in the 150 foot range. Is there bolted climbs there? Someone should deffiately post some pictures of the Lost City if anyone has them.

This thread is so great! I"m loving the photos and thinking back on some extremely fun times in the Tetons and the Winds. I was back there last summer and had a fantastic 10yr anniv. trip...Thanks for the cool pix. If I knew how to put up pix...blah blah.

Museum, did you ever see Custer's name carved into the top of Inyan Kara. I have a picture of it somewhere on film I will post if I can fin it and scan it. I know that mountain is on the most significant to the regional tribes and it is a bit of a sore spot with them.

mike, on the first two adventures we didn't know about it so we didn't look.
And the third time we forgot to look!
So no, we never saw it.

So in '67 or '68 the U of Washington Ski Club went to Jackson. We stayed at the Moose. Somehow some of us got in to town. Al and I walked around and decided we'd try this place called the Cowboy Bar as it looked pretty authentic. Of course neither of us was 21 but we figgered whathephuk would a bunch o' cowboys care? We strode through the swinging doors trying to look like we owned the joint and headed for the bar. As the heads of the serious patrons, any of whom looked like they could have posed for a Marlboro Man poster, swung in our direction out of the inky shadows came a piercing cat-call followed immediately by something like "Yoo-hoo girls, over here!" To say we were a bit shocked isn't the half of it. I was 6'-1"/180 and Al had me by an inch and a good 10-15 pounds. Granted, I suppose we did look a bit on the preppy side but really! With perfect timing we executed a perfect about-face that would have almost brought a smile to the face of our Navy ROTC gunnie's face and marched right out of there. Maybe it was the Van Heusen button-down shirts?
