Wind River Muzzle Loaders

[Redacted]

Fun pocketed slab; it felt harder than 11a if you didn't stem out left.

Mornin' Crow

The route immediately right of Rooster Cogburn.  This route has two obvious flakes with a powerful compression sequence in the middle.

The Duke

Difficult climbing on small holds through the first couple bolts leads to easier climbing up high.

Rodeo Drive

Climb the obvious dihedral crack, on the far right end of rodeo drive, up to the horizontal break. Sketchy Traverse right to anchors on southern draw.

Cowgirl E

3 boulder problems with the one going to the anchors being the crux. Great movement and well bolted.

Rooster Cogburn

Dirty Sally

Thin is the best word to describe this route.  Starts by pulling a small bulge and then vertical climbing on crimps and shallow pockets takes you to the anchor.  The "Lander Sport Climbs" guide by Steve Bechtel rates this 5.12a but I didn't think it was quite that hard.  But maybe if your shorter...

The Solace of Bolted Faces

A Man from Laramie

Starts on top of a large flake, with a low first clip.  Commit to the face (right) and follow pockets to the top.

Imagine What I Could Do to Your Face

Ride Me Cowgirl

Start at the base of the crack on the detached block to the right of the Duke. Stem on the frontside of the crack and then work your way into the backside of crack. Move through a few bulges until you get to the roof. Pull through the roof and climb the face to the anchors. Enjoy the view. This route was originally climbed

onsight on gear.

Tanna’s Crack Front to Back

Start on thin holds below the bulge and climb onto the slabby face. Commit upwards on pockets and crimps towards the anchors.

Southern Draw

Four bolts of bouldery climbing over a bulge on neat pockets and holds

Drinking Dry Clouds

Short Pony

Starts on a large flake, then continues left up a crack/face system, just right of the arete, to chains.

Rio Bravo

Climbed without using the flake at the top.

Western Grip

Boulder start to 10+ climbing. Just gets easier. Stick clip start might be a good idea.

Wrong End of a Gun

Ticks for chicks

This takes the right leaning prow across the gully from Drinking Dry Clouds. An easy start quickly leads into the technical crux near the second bolt. Continue on long pulls between small holds through four more bolts to the chains. Most of the moves could prove to be redpoint cruxes. The technical, bouldery, and continuously low-percentage movement makes this a well earned route.

This faces SSE and gets PM shade.

The 2011 guide gives it 13b and the 2015 guide says 12d.
