Contact the Access Fund or the Wichita Mountains Climber's Coalition for more information on how you can get involved in keeping the tradition of climbing safe in the Wildlife Refuge. Use extra care to avoid doing anything to change the natural resources in any way.
Access Issue: Access is always an issue here.
Details
Please do not litter and observe all regulations. We had to fight to regain access at one time, and we don't want to lose the privilege again. Local ethics and refuge regulations are that no bolting is permitted unless expressly authorized by the park. Leave the hammer and nails at home, no fixed gear please. Everything will go clean.
Description
Follows the obvious (and very difficult looking) dihedral. Climb through a series of ledges that can be protected with cams to the first bolt. Some hard stemming will through a pin and another bolt. There are gear placements that will help get you through the roof and to the last bolt. Hard and very fun if you like smeary dihedrals
Protection
cams and quickdraws
