Climbing Wind River Range: Pingora & Wolfs Head Cirque of the Towers

"I don't think I've rappelled or multipitch climbed in 2 years" - my partner Mara 😂. One of those perfect trips that starts with a phone call and then 24hr later you and your friend are driving through the night to meet up at the trailhead. Mango smoothies, bagged salads, warm granite and incredible views are hard to beat. My first time climbing in this range and it blew me away.
Mara and I hadn't climbed together since sophomore year of college (12 years prior!!!) but figured an alpine climb was the perfect way to jump back into partnering up, to laugh, eat good food and catch up on life. And even though she hasn't rappelled in 2 years, Mara is a great, safe and efficient partner for the alpine that has all the right priorities for climbing (great food, fast movement, not taking ourselves too seriously).

Awesome. You 2 rocked it on style. Me and an old NOLS buddy are headed in to climb Pingora in August. I’m 58. He’s 60. ✌️🤩

I had a couple of great trips to the Towers wayback 77-78..watching this left me a wee bit teary eyed.. (weird to see the trailhead so crowded tho’)
