Driving through Wind river Canyon over christmas to visit some family, I realized that there must be lifetimes of climbable rock in this canyon. i think most of it is a sandy limestone, a little bit of metamorphosed granite and some chossy shale, but it is hard to tell from the road. I was wondering if anyone has done any climbing in this canyon. Or if you can even climb there at all. If I am not mistaken, It is nearly(if not all) indian reservation.
It also looked like there might be some pretty sweet bouldering around as well.
Any ideas?

That's what I was afraid of. It's too bad.
I'll refrain from posting my views of the quality of land management in some of these tribes.

I did some bouldering on a recent backpacking trip through the Wind River Wilderness area. Not sure of any established routes, but we had a blast bouldering anytime we stopped to take off our packs! :D

If you got a hardon for climbing in the canyon you can try to get a permit in Fort Washakie. Good luck.
and thun: you are out of your element.
