Wyo Road Trip: 3of4 Sinks Canyon

Sinks Canyon lays directly en route to the Wind Rivers so naturally we had to stop and say hello. We found a beautiful campground on the Popo Agie river to spend a night. Again, we didnt have any guide books so off we went hoping to onsight. With a little beta from Mountain Project, we knew there was an area of limestone that had a high concentration of moderates. We ended up parking at the western most (almost) end of the cliff band and traversed the entire thing left to right before we found the Scud Wall. The classics were occupied so we hopped on a 5.11 to get to some chains and top roped a 'silly' 5.10. We left it at that because we had a lot of driving to do to get to the Big Sandy trailhead in the Wind Rivers.

Shelly, our chariot for the week. Never had a problem, never left us stranded. 
A crazy cave with tons if super human routes. 



Not often you look at a 5.11 and think it looks easier than a 5.10 but we fell victim.
