Climbing in the Cirque of the Towers, Wind River Range 

Spent 6 wks in the Wind Rivers with 5 climbing buddies July-Aug 1972... Most of it at Cirque of the Towers camping at Lonesome Lake. Last Climb was Gannett Peak Had to bail on Wolf's Jaw in a gathering thunderstorm, Many stories & photos, J Golder w/Bob Gibson (RIP), Jim Minno, Alan Scott, Lou Snow & Larry Winter our leader. Memories!!!!!

Finis Mitchell is pronounced 'fee-nus" and lived in Rock Springs. He and his wife operated a fishing camp out of Big Sandy in the '30's and 40's and are responsible for stocking many of the lakes with trout. Mitchell Peak, across Jackass Pass from Warbonnet, is named after him for all of his contributions to the range. He climbed most of the peaks in the Winds. Mitchell Peak was the only officially named geographic feature after a living person. There is a long 5.9 on the North Face of Mitchell which is pretty good. Royal Robbins did the first traverse of the Cirque of the Towers.

It is absolutely insane your guys level of stamina to do all that hiking and climbing in a few days. Let alone the 5.12 on Wolf's Head! Bravo

So beautiful up there. Thanks for another video! Always appreciate your content.

Everything you do looks insane. Great channel.

Great views and climbing! Thanks for sharing with us.

So beautiful, fantastic filming, you guys really make it look easy. I had no idea the Wind River Range similar to the Karakorum. thanks for the scenery!

This is a true climber's playground! Amazing!

Gorgeous! I never heard of the place.

Can’t wait to backpack there. I’ll stick to trails but that was rad. Thanks for sharing

Way to get after it dude!

Hi Tyler, Thank you for the great content! Very inspiring🙏 Would you be able to recommend a guidebook for the Wind River Range or did you use other sources? Thank you so much and good luck with all your future adventures!

Excellent work...I wish I could swing pitchs with you guys...I was 5.11r grade VI A4...Water Ice 6 M7 back in the day..It has been 6 long years since my last climb due to back injury, sciatica and then rhuematoid arthritis now at 59. You move fast, smart and light...I feel like I am on the climbs with you guys Thanks 😁🏞 Jeff Bassett...Berg Heil !

Lol is that Cedar? Met him and hung with him in Josh for a bit. Small world

looks sick af 👍

I rarely say this, or, at least, I rarely say it and mean it, but, WOW. Serioursly! I recognized most of the gear except the shoes. One pair is LaSportiva's but what is the other?

@2:34 you should have added your date to the plate , that's what it's there for, either no one has noticed it since 1981 or no ones been to that spot , or realized the meaning of the plate ,but rad accomplishment guys,

Wind River Range……backpack and /or climb there…..absolutely great place….finish in the Tetons…..pizza & bier in Jackson….

2:05 so epic!!!

🤘🤯🤘 🐐

Proper alpine efforts at decent altitude...thats why you're exhausted but buzzing...long hard effort surrounded by beauty...does things to a ma...sorry...person. Beautiful work.

Tyler, what camera do you film with??

2:21 - It's slightly run out haha

when you rappel from the top, do you just use natural features or leaving slings when there are no rap rings ?

nice

Wide angle lense distorts the beauty .

I agree with Keith! Mountains are best enjoyed with only the sound of the wind, the clinking of hardware, and the human voice. Leave the music at home.

14:19 he has not been kind to that jacket

Men are without excuse, the heavens declare the glory of God. Seek Christ Jesus the Redeemer

you guys are scaring the shit out of me find something safer to do
