Yeah....most 22 Wyoming plates are on "daddy bought" vans. They grew up in the East, went to Middlebury or Colorado College while majoring in environmental studies and are soaking up some sun while waiting for the ski season.

Hmmmm....i suppose if you tell me where those climbs are you'll have to shoot me....and i know you're all packing.

No daddy bought vans in 3 county....folks there would settle for knowing who their father is.

I'm sure they have all been climbed before. There was a rusty old pin in the base of the first one for a ground anchor or some such nuttyness. The wide one was pretty clean for a "wild crack". It would be awfully presumptuous to claim a FA. Great dolomite crack climbing, somewhat of a rarity. They aren't too far off a trail (no more than a 45 minute bushwhack) but certainly not in any guidebook. The copious ivy keeps the crowds away, that and it's location in north central Wyoming.

Ha! I'm an import, but you are a bit off the mark. You are thinking 17. 3 is pretty civilized.




On second thought you are probably not to far off.

I love the fact that Wyoming has the lowest population density in the lower 48 and that unleashed dogs at crags are considered varmits and treated as such.

Dogs at the crags? People do that?

Sh#t, we don't even see other people at the crags. On the rare occasion we do, we just yell "Git off our rock!"

Jack I'm jealous. I did Assembly Line years ago. It still stands out in my mind as a great line. Hope to get back there sometime.
