Climbing at the Cliffs Beyond Difficulty
There is an abandoned town site in SE WY called Difficulty. It was at a place where the wagon team had to work hard to get the load up the canyon to Shirley Basin. The site is about 15 mile NW of Medicine Bow, WY. These cliffs are just beyond the head of Difficulty Creek.

More Routes at Cliffs Beyond Difficulty
We managed to put up 16 more 80 ft sport routes at the Cliffs Beyond Difficulty in Sept but the area is now snow bound/cold. We were hoping JayBro could climb WY Meth Cooks Choice with Jammer photographing him on what would be the second ascent.

Nice Dingus. A couple of weeks ago my brother and I took jack up assembly line. What a great route. Jack and I started and summitted on pattent pending. Definitely the most sustained route he has summitted on. We had not been climbing as much the last 6 months as I had a shoulder injury, but this route got him excited to climb again as he got to show his uncle some of the things he has learned. He did get a little spanked on the fingers at the beginning, but raced right up the hands. He feels it is sandbagged and Walt Bailey at 5.9 is easier despite the 5.9- given Assembly Line. Hope all is well. Mikecan you believe it has been 39 years since you put that up. Must have been a little harder when you had to do it with few or no cams. That thing is long and sustained.

Hey Mike M,
that is good photo of Assembly Line. Did Jack lead it?
The crack before the FA was totally full of moss which was soon all gone.

No but getting close to being ready for some of those rigs. How do you get the moss out of the crack?

It's the season of (Wyoming 22) license plates all over Red Rocks and Indian Creek. Almost never see Wyoming plates with another number. Are there any Wyoming climbers who don't live in Jackson Hole?

I just fitted mid sized hexes around and in it while other parties took the moss to task. For a brief time the crack had patches of moss free zones but some like protection more often than I chose.

Donni,
a Jackson climber once told me, "We[of Jackson]do it all". I replied, Yes, you do and as a matter of fact one Jacksonnian pinned his boat on the Bridge's Run on the Poudre and then sold his boat and quit kayaking, another grabbed a carabiner attached to gear while taking a leader fall and broke his finger and a third one triggered an avalanche above some skiers while he took to traversing above the lower party but only one person was killed. After saying this I said, 'Yes you do, I know'.
The rest of us WY people are doing FA's in WY that we have little time to mention as opposed to those WY22's having time to do climbs other people talk about and few FA's.
Quality exists in Wyoming, but few find it.
Plus I guess you are never in Lander in the winter to find out how many WY22 are there in the winter? They don't need no stinkin' cracks.
