Sweetwater Rocks Failure | chossclimbers.com

Go back to Wyoming.

Lankin Dome (July 2022).

A four day weekend outing to Wyoming. Always in search of new, dog-friendly places for climbing. Sweetwater Rocks outside of Lander looked promising but ultimately we could not find a dog-doable approach to the base of Lankin Dome (centerpiece of the area); options funneled us into either steep/technical slabs of large boulder choked gullies.

The slabs and bounder filled gullies proved too much for the mutts and so we turned around (July 2022).

Pretty unique ambiance; maybe a bit reminiscent of City Of Rocks (July 2022).

In search of a swimming hole. Popo Agie (river) was positively raging (July 2022).

Ice cream end of day topper in Lander. Styrofoam cups were just fine until one finished before the other and decided to help his brother who then decided to speed up the eating at the cost of accuracy. Anyway, took a few days for bits of styrofoam to clear the systems (July 2022).
