Ten Sleep Rock Climbing Travel Tips

By Brian Kevin
  • Ten Sleep Canyon, just west of the Bighorn Mountains, is a limestone and dolomite sport climbing citadel. More than 60 routes ascend Mondo Beyondo, the area's highest developed rock.
  • Sheer limestone crags rise above a forested hill in the Valhalla area, located just east of Mondo Beyondo.
  • The polychromatic limestone faces in the canyon's French Cattle Ranch are easy on the eyes, but there's nothing easy about the 60 to 100-foot vertical faces of the Grasshopper and Shinto walls.
  • Trad climbers and mountaineers can pack a rucksack and head into the Cloud Peak Wilderness from the trailhead at West Tensleep Lake. The titular thirteener and nearby peak, the Innominate, both offer classic routes and some of Wyoming's finest alpine scenery.
  • You'll find a myriad of formations in Crazy Woman Canyon that are still a bit under the radar, but they are gaining popularity for climbing and bouldering. Crazy Woman Canyon Road is about 25 miles south of Buffalo on Highway 16.
