Stay in touch and follow this site or check in at the Wild Iris Mountain Sports for updates on recent route development. Locals are still scoping lines and more new routes will be developed this winter/spring up in Sinks Canyon. Don’t forget to donate to B.A.R.F. if you have extra time or money.
Thanks for the support!
Happy Holidays to all! Sinks Canyon has been amazing lately and the locals have been out at the crag at the Addiction wall, The Citadel, and Achin’ for Booty. 30 degrees and sunny usually provides for a great day of cragging and sending. See ya out there!
Winter has arrived. Morning temps in Lander have dropped below zero at times; but, the day time temps have risen back into the mid 30′s on the clear days. The sunny days have provided amazing conditions up at the crag. Keep your eye on the weather and get out there!
Locals are still excited to establish and maintain routes at the Sinks this winter. Don’t forget to stop by the Wild Iris Mountain sports and drop off a donation, buy an official B.A.R.F. shirt or let the staff know about any problems with routes or at the crag.
Thanks to you all for the continued support!!!

Hey, start sending! Sinks is starting to come back in season; Sweetwater Rocks is ready (bouldering and routes). Locals have been sending last minute projects up at the Iris and moving down into the valley for Sinks Canyon season. The Loop Road is still open. Fossil Hill anyone?
