AREA ETHICS BROUGHT TO YOU BY LOCALS AND LAND MANAGERS:

Keep Climbing Areas Clean! - if you brought it in, please make sure it leaves with you. We find most climbers are excellent at this. Thanks.

Got to Poo? - Please use an existing facility or bring a wag bag. If there is no existing facility and you must go, make sure you dig a proper cathole, bury it completely and are well away from trails, campsites, water and the climbing areas. Do NOT bury toilet paper or (eeek! even worse) baby wipes. We are in a high desert and our soil has fewer microbes than you think. "The Wyoming climbing community is known to be friendly and gregarious. We don't tolerate rude behavior." - quote Lonesome Dove.

Please stay on trails and camp in designated or existing sites only.

Report any access issues, strange encounters with other users, encounters with wildlife, or suggestions and comments here.

Read the Guidebook and Land Management websites so you can be up do date on Current Restrictions

Wildlife, we have it. Black Bears, Grizzly Bears, Mountain Lions, Rattlesnakes and more. Respect and keep your distance!

You are solely responsible for you, your knowledge of climbing risks, ability to recognize hazards and your safety. Please make sure you understand the risks of climbing and the systems necessary to minimize risk to yourself and others.

If it is red tagged, dont climb it.

No one likes a spray-lord/lass. Check with the climber you are aiming at before you unload those beta bullets.

If you dont have to form a line, please dont.

DOGS: We love em', but unless your dog is the kind that literally lies at the base of the climb you are on and shows no interest in sniffing/biting/barking at other humans, animals, or burritos that wander by, please keep it leashed. We ask you to be proactive rather than waiting until your dog runs off, nips at someone, starts fights with other dogs, humps someone, or eats their lunch. We know your dog is good. Just because a dog is good for you, doesnt mean its good around others or in cramped spaces. Please pick up their poo.

Whats The Deal With Leashes In Sinks Canyon?

Trainers and Healers

Lander: Lander was known as Pushroot, Fort Brown, and Fort Auger prior to its current name. The town was named Lander in honor of General Frederick W. Lander, a famous transcontinental explorer who surveyed the Oregon Trail's Lander Cutoff.[7] Several miles southeast of town near present-day U.S. Route 287 is the site of Wyoming's first oil well, circa 1884.[8] The town was incorporated in 1890.[9]
