I might be staying in Powell Wyoming this summer, what rock climbing is closest? Ten sleep looks like the weekend spot??? Does Cody have rock climbing?

I did look around, Wild Iris is 5 or 6 hours from Powell. Thanks for the "help".

I said for a long weekend. 5 to 6 hours is not too long for a weekend. Hell I drive 7+ hours to HCR for a long weekend of climbing.
All kidding aside...I have heard great things about Wild Iris...that's why I suggested it and I was just lucky the first thing I clicked on was Cedar Mountain Boulders.
Have fun.

Wild Iris is rad, I actually was able to use your findings to find another area in Cedar mountain area that is supposed to be similar to Wild Iris.
Hopefully I can find an Internship for the summer also.

I don't know.
I know Cody is big in the ice climbing genre. That means there's lots of vertical stuff in the area. It stands to reason that there is something to climb there in the summer.
I wouldn't even know where to start. You've definitely got the right terrain though.

First, why you'd drive 5-6 hours for the Iris when the VASTLY superior Ten Sleep Canyon is 2 hours and change away is beyond me. It really must suck to live in Texas where you get used to having to drive half a day for anything worth climbing.
Second, most of the quartzite climbing around Cody sucks. HARD. You'd have more fun bitching about not climbing while watching daytime TV than going there.
Third, I haven't been on the limestone in Shoshone canyon, its supposed to be pretty good. You might also try the Sphinx boulders, they're supposed to be of high quality.
There is a gym in Cody, but why? The South Fork and Clark's Fork country is gorgeous, and there's way more undeveloped rock than there are climbers. Note that you're gonna encounter a lot of choss, and a lot of private land.
There's a cafe in Cody (and a pretty well appointed gear shop as well) where you can get a lot of beta. I don't remember the name right off hand though. Sunrise, sunlight, some damn thing with "sun" in it.

Do you know anything about rock in the Bighorn National Forest? I found this: http://www.flickr.com/...eytilson/3087943461/
Do you know if that formation is legally climbed? It looks like sandstone to me, most of the other pictures I've found in that area look like rotten limestone.
I'll be working near Lovell Wyoming.

There is climbing all over the Big Horns. I highly recommend Bomber mtn. and Cloud Pk. Great hikes.

Does it look anything like this?
Steamboat Point its called. Not well developed, still quite sharp. Certainly legal.
If its on BLM or NFS land, its legal to climb on in Wyoming, in general.

I just looked at the Climbing North America book, looks like living in Big Horn Nat. Forest for a summer might be super rad, maybe more rad than Rado???

As in Colorado?
You have rendered me speechless sir.
Just check out the crags in northern Wyoming on Mountain Project. Or Wyoming in general.
You'll see why I hate being in Denver this semester.

I just wish that they'd stay in their own damn state during the summer, or at least stop spraying about how rad it is when they climb in other states. Mostly the latter actually.
Its like all the ex-Texans saying how awesome Texas is. If it was that great, why did you leave?
It has been my experience that Denver is populated almost entirely by weakmos who are desperately trying to downplay their weakmo-ness. So you've got a lot of spray, but not that many really skilled climbers.

Hey, I never said I wasn't a weakmo. I'm just used to excessive spray being dealt with very quickly, for the most part.

What do you think of Billings? I have a phone interview with a firm there.
I will probably get paid the same to do engineering work as I would to drive all over the big-horns and clean toilets, plus I would have a lot more over-head. But I would finally get some engineering experience, something I'm lacking since I have spent too many summers climbing.

Moose Droppings, this site is not for reminiscing the good times, it is for talking shit to people you would never dare talk to in real life.
I'm actually glad to hear that the Big Horns have so much climbing opportunities.

Last time I visited Billings, it was a day trip from Cody.
My climbing partner's girlfriend at the time lived in Cody. I heard that there was climbing, so I went to Cody with the climbing partner. Instead, we went to Billings. I don't remember that much topography, but I think you could do worse in terms of location. Its more a question of which job will give you more time to climb. If cleaning the shit houses means you can climb every day, by all means do it! If it doesn't, but the engineering job gives you like a 4-10 sort of set up, Billings might be your better bet.
You can find the climbing around Billings on here, its in the Southeast part of the Montana page, but its no destination, it looks like.

if i get the internship then I'll probably spend most of my weekends in the big horns with my wife.
I need the experience pretty bad cause my undergrad gpa sucks and I'm going to need to pay for grad school loans. Oregon schools are much more expensive than Utah.

Billings is very very hot during the summer the rim rocks keep the temperatures scorching. Maybe someone local to Billings can chime in but, I would think that it maybe to hot to climb.

shitty, maybe earl morning bouldering and weekends in the big horns???
Does anyone know of good-long singletrack for mountain biking in the area? I looked at MTBR.com and only found a few short trails that mentioned 'stunts.' I'm too old to break my bones doing that shit.

That remark reminds me of back when............
Billings might get a little warm for a couple, three weeks in August. It isn't to bad the rest of the summer.
