Find the start just right of the obvious crack system on the left side of the wall. The start is dirty as of this week (we forgot one of the tools for cleaning) but soon it will be excellent.

Just right of the cave at the left side of Fist Full of Quickdraws wall. This route and the route to it's left, Hell or High Stepp'n, were established by a group of climbers in a clinic during the International Climbers Festival.

Begin with good pockets on fantastic vertical to slabby 5.11c 'ish face climbing to a stance below the obvious roof.  Big moves on mostly good holds leads out the roof to a hard to see jug at the anchors. Falling while going for the anchors (crux) leads to a great, bowel churning free air fall.

A tricky climb on some classic Wild Iris stone. Good pockets and easy movement lead to a hard move out left around the 3rd bolt. Get a quick shake before the wall steepens then move through a series of marginal pockets and hard to see feet before the wall slabs out.

If I could give this route 5 stars, I would. Outstanding two and three finger pockets lead up a beautiful sweep of white stone. Finish the route through a tiered roof system.

This route begins on the Cowboy King slab and then breaks left out on the final roof. Enjoy the hard entry moves and a decent rest before a couple hard-as-nails moves to take you to anchor. Keep the name in mind...

Climb the corner and face left of the big roof routes and two routes right of Fist Full of Quickdraws.

Climb the first 5-6 bolts of A Few Quick Draws more then clip two bolts going left and linking up with The Quick and the Dead (the .11d right of Fist Full of Quickdraws.) It's basically a V4 crux.

Find the start just left of the cave at the left side of the Fist Full of Quickdraws Wall. This route and the route to its right, Team Effort, were established during a clinic on how to build new routes at the 2017 International Climbers Festival.

This route may not get as much love as its neighbors, but it's just as much fun! Thin pockets lead you to a long pull to a mono followed by endurance cranking on good pockets. Follow the slab to the double roof and finish on a junior version of American Beauty!

This route features great movement between good pockets. The moves can be reachy at times but the crux at 2/3 height provides a few options of pockets to choose from. Following the crux a 20' runout (5.8) leads to the anchors.

A Wild Iris mega classic. Cowboy king is as good as it gets for climbing of the grade in Wyoming. It climbs perfect white limestone up delicate slab to a no hands rest below a two tiered roof. Bust out the first then take a wild ride up the right of two routes that split (left is Bronc Twister). Have your two finger pocket roof climbing game on point for the last bit. Incredibly good climbing on perfect stone.
