NFB's pics must be underwritten by the Wyoming Tourism Bureau - TOO good. Except, who brings an extension ladder to a rando race? (well, maybe the French)
Nice quiver of handmade's, and thanks for the link to more pics.

I love this State. My family homesteaded in SW WYO in "Brown's Park" in the 1870s. My wife's family homesteaded in the Northern Laramie Range outside of Douglas in the 1870s. We climb rocks on the homestead land every year.

This is of interest, since I am in the right age range and qualify as a hasbeen/neverwas. Four of us did climb Gannet via a gully behind Gooseneck in Aug. of 1971. From the top of that gully we scrambled low fifth-class rock and some snow to the top. I never have found that route in a description of available routes on Gannet?
Christ! Did we do a new route?
At the summit we fell into bad company, and smoked some dope----just to be sociable.
On our un-roped way down the regular route: one of our party, slipped just before the schrund, and slid over the edge.
He fell about 12 feet, and landed back-first on flat and hard snow. No problem getting off the route, but there were some long-term back problems for my friend.

Jaybro missed that sport climb on that boulder. Is that undr Shiprock? There must be about a million possible sport climbs possible on the limestone in the Big Horns alone. I put up a bunch of climbs in Spearfish Canyon, but the scale of the sport climbing potential in Wyoming is stagering. I was never very good at it and so I moved on to greener pastures. Here is a wall next to the Tensleep flow that is 200 feet of a triple wave of overhanging dolomite with holds all over that is quite impresive.Nothing like this in SoDak thats for sure.
