Details
The land surrounding the crags is a mix of Forest Service and private inholdings. Several of the minor roads lead to private summer cabins, some of which are quite close to the cliffs.
The main roads are all on public property, but don't drive down anything resembling a driveway or leading to a residence. Maintain a low profile when climbing here. Keep dogs in control or consider not bringing them out here. Camp well away from any cabins, watch your campfire carefully, and pack out all trash! The cliffs and access are all on public land and legit, but the proximity to private holdings requires sensitivity and best behavior. Be good stewards to this special area and we'll all enjoy it for years to come!

Description
A seriously sustained endeavor offering the best Wyoming dolomite has to offer. Look for the beautiful, steep, white prow towards the center of the cliff (no trees at the base so it's visible from the road/parking). The feature is obvious and begs to be climbed.
Start with a fun burly lieback and gain a beautiful white prow. Begin busting out hard moves straight up this prow and don't stop 'til you clip the anchors. Great edging, big & powerful movement, and plenty of classic two-finger pockets.
.12b is the original grade, but subsequent climbers have suggested a harder grade.

Location
The route tackles the obvious steep white prow visible from the road. Look for the line of bolts that begins in a left-facing corner and moves to the right onto the white prow. There are a few more difficult routes just to the right of Bighorn Roundup, but currently all the other routes described on the Crazy Woman Crag mountain project page are well to the left of this.
