East Fork Valley. Climbed on Mid Summer Dome and Ambush Peak. Hiked over to Hooker fish on the last day after getting spanked on a 10 hard first pitch variation of a 9+++, put up by Dick Williams I believe.

I love the East Fork. That Red Dihedral on Ambush was one of my favorite routes ever. The very last pitch was stout! And then we went over to climb the west face of Musembeah, incredible. The top 4 pitches of that thing are a 5.9/10a arete into the sky. You belay for the final pitch right on the tippy top.

So I just drove by this place near Saratoga, WY. It looked awesome!
These shots out the window at 75 don't do it justice. There were some
rocks that looked over 100'.

Reilly,
The rocks you photographed, south of Saratoga WY, are in the Baggot Rock group.
The region with the tower on top (Needle Rock) is public land and has public access. To get there take Baggot County Road east of WY State 230 about 4.2 miles north of Riverside, WY. Follow this road less than a mile and turn north following a fence line east of the road.
The biggest Baggot rock group is east of the Encampment River on public land but with no public access. Welcome to Wyoming.
I was there this weekend. The place has perhaps 15 routes. They are trad with an occasional bolt. According to my bouldering friend, Davin Bagdonas, Bagot Rocks is an outstanding bouldering area. On Saturday a UW van of the Outdoor Program released a trove of these climbing types to remark the chalk on some boulders.
The rock type is gneiss with surfaces granular to smooth.

Dingus,
Yeah, I figured there would be some access issues. I was just passing through
but, damn, that place was nice! There must be a bazillion boulders there!

Been playing around with video a little. Here are some Ft. Collins guys on the third pitch of Tulgey Wood 9+. The dude who led it was like 6'7" and had some seriously big mits.http://vimeo.com/30160891 Sorry if it is a little boring. Kind of like watching someone climb a 165ft offwidth.
