Description

Renowned for its world-class alpine climbing, the Wind River Range is the perfect place for a 1+ day rock climbing expedition!

Situated about 100 miles southeast of Jackson Hole, the Winds (as they are colloquially known) are a classic multi-pitch trad climbing locale.

Famed routes, including the East Ridge of Wolf’s Head, are perfect challenges for intermediate level climbers. As long as you are comfortable climbing at a 5.6 level, you’ll be fine on this route. The excellent quality of the rock and amazing views are sure to blow your mind.

For advanced climbers, there are plenty of great challenges as well. Among the most popular are the south face of Wolf’s Head and Lost Temple Spire. You should be comfortable on 5.10 and 5.12 level climbs, respectively, in order to make the most out of these climbs.

If summiting the tallest mountain in the state, Gannett Peak (13,804 feet), interests you more, we can make a separate arrangement to do that. The six day trip includes carrying our gear by horseback before climbing our way to the top of the state. It should not be missed!

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this exciting, challenging and scenic 1+ day rock climbing expedition to the wild Wind River Range, near Jackson Hole!

If you like the look of this trip then I think you will also enjoy my ski mountaineering trip to Grand Teton National Park!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
