We offer custom guided rock climbing trips in Cody, Wyoming on some of the best moderate multipitch sport climbing objectives in the US.  We guide some of the country’s longest multipitch sport climbing routes in at the Mouth of the Clark’s Fork of the Yellowstone River, home to several routes ranging from 6 to 22 pitches.  These multipitch sport climbing routes feature fun and mostly moderate slab climbing on grades ranging from 5.8-5.11 in an incredible, desert-alpine setting overlooking the northern Bighorn Basin.  If you like climbing long moderates and you’re looking for an awesome experience climbing in a wild and scenic venue, a custom sport climbing trip to Cody is a must-do.

 

Why climb in Cody with us:

 

Our rock climbing guides are experienced professionals, talented climbers, and well-trained teachers.  They are also humble, personable, and overall great humans to be around in the mountains.  Our guides are adept at providing safe, supportive, and inclusive climbing experiences for people of all backgrounds and ability levels.  Many of our rock climbing guides live and climb in the Cody throughout the summer, which is a major advantage because they know the areas they guide extremely well.  Being based in the area also minimizes travel for our guides, which makes our service more affordable than our competitors and reduces our carbon footprint.

 

Favorite routes in the Mouth of the Clark’s Fork:

 

• M11 (5.11, 22 pitches) – M11 is the longest multipitch sport climb in the Mouth and currently one of the longest sport climbs established in the US.  The route features thousands of feet of fun and mostly moderate slab climbing on clean, well-featured limestone in an incredible desert-alpine setting.  Ambitious and well-fit climbers may be able to complete the route in the day but it’s also feasible to bivy on route or climb the first half of the route as a day objective.  Don’t let the grade or length of the route intimidate you too much however – most of the climbing is 5.9 or below and this is an incredibly unique and rewarding objective regardless of how many pitches you want to climb!

 

• Forever (5.10 A0, 21 pitches) – Forever is a moderate yet adventurous climb that ascends one of the tallest features at the Mouth.  Most of the pitches are easier than neighboring M11 and the nature of the climbing feels more alpine in nature, with more scrambling and route-finding required.  This is a wonderful objective regardless if you only want to climb the first few pitches or if you want to take it all the way to the top!
