Is there anyone in Cody who would like to get out and climb once or twice a week? The warm weather's fading fast but I bet there will be a few nice days to be had at the Bridge Bands this winter. This will be my first winter in Cody. I like trad, sport, hard, easy, whatever, but I'm not into bouldering. Email or PM if you'd like to get out and do some routes, or some ice when it comes in. Yvette

Go to the Beta coffee shop across the street from the Irma if you haven't already, it's owned by a climber. The best quality rock in Cody is the bouldering by far so you might have trouble getting those folks to climb slabs with you but someone will be game sooner or later to rope up at the bands. Nothing quite like hitting the South Fork in the early morning and then bouldering at the Sphinx in the afternoon.

Just curious, but what is the usual driving time to the Tetons?

Thanks, I have been to the Beta already and met Mike. It's true that the locals are way more into bouldering than anything else, which is making it difficult for me to find people to climb routes with. I haven't driven to the Tetons from here but I would guess that it's about 5 hours.

When the park is open only in the worst tourist condition possible would it take 5 hours more like 3 1/2 or so. In the winter time it's about 5 hours because you have to drive around. Ice season is almost there, I think there is a new mountain shop or something which is owned by a really active ice climber. check coldfear.com I think the details are on there. I think if you got hooked up with that dude you wouldn't be lacking for an ice partner at least. Good luck, a reliable climbing partner in Cody has never been easy to find.
