I'm looking for info on climbing in the Big Horns but have found very little in teh way of a guidebook. I have read references to a Bonney hikers guide but nothing recent. I am interested in the Innominate area. Any info would be great. It seems like an amazing alpine rock climbing area and is the closest mountain range to where I live.

The only info I've ever found on the Big Horns is on SummitPost.
For some adventuous technical climbing I would explore this wall surrounding the Lost Twin Lakes area. Only 5-6 mi approach from Ten Sleep trail head

Wall surrounding Lost Twin Lakes.

Lost Twin is pretty spectacular. Skinner and Piana put up several routes back there. Looks 11-ish. There is great mixed climbing on the other side of the mountain. The approach is not so nice, though.

The Innominate is a great climb. Worth the long approach. Send me an email if you'd like some beta photos.

Eric, I just noticed this, years later. The Big Horns are wonderful. You need to talk to Paul Kuenn, who used to guide there regularly.

And more undocumented FAs than will talk about.
