Lander, Wyoming: free camping in City Park, amazing climbing on pocketed limestone in every direction, and infectious kindness. We climbed at two areas, Wild Iris and Sinks Canyon. Next stop: Jackson, Wyoming for some fun!
Bathing in the Platte River on our way to Lander from Laramie.
Oh yeah, did I ever mention that we do whatever we want. We can even hang upside down in the kitchen!
Unfortunately we do not have any picture of a special guy we met. We climbing with a guy named Ken, and he was so grateful to climb with us that he brought us up a full cooler of beer, a bottle of Whiskey, and homemade/grown fruit leather. Thanks Ken!
This one is for you Ken. He is the embodiment of our trip.
View from our campsite.
Wild Iris is located in the Wind River Mountain Range.
First actual climbing shot of the trip. Mmmmm, Limestone. This rock is pretty wild: there are fossils in the handholds!
We encountered the worst tangle in a rope that I have ever seen. We spent an hour working out the kinks in this 70 meter rope, and it is still twisted!
The rope malfunction sucked, but this did not. We found a natural shower underneath the cliff face. It was cold, but needed.
