Wild Iris Weekend

Last weekend Adam and I made a trip out to Lander, Wyoming to climb at Wild Iris, "one of the most beautiful rock climbing areas in America with some of the fiercest short climbs anywhere". There are so many different walls with endless amounts of sport climbs, which made it hard to leave at the end of the week. We couldn't have picked a better spot though. There were numerous campsites parallel to the crag, which meant we literally rolled out of bed, walked 5 minutes down the trail, and was at the base of the climbing wall. Saturday we took it easy and explored around the crag a bit. It was overwhelming trying to pick out climbs because we wanted to climb it all!
We warmed up on a route called Phat Phinger Phrenzy (5.8), which was a blast...



One of my favorite climbs of the weekend was a route called Ride Me Cowgirl (5.10b), which has some awesome mono pockets and all around fun moves...
