Climbing in Cody and East Yellowstone, WY

Like other bouldering areas on Cedar Mountain, Africa has enough great routes on several different boulders to keep you crushing all day.

The Switchback area is found between the hairpin turns on the Cedar Mountain Road. It's a good spot for anyone short on time but needing a rock fix.

The Island is tucked in between two tunnels on the Yellowstone Road, but it’s a refuge for sport climbers.

The Bridge Bands are a line of pockety dolomite on the north slope of Shoshone Canyon.

Classic climbing is the Bridge Bands’ claim to fame. Climbers swarmed these rocks in the 1970s and began putting up routes. This was the birthplace of sport climbing in the Shoshone Canyon.

Carcass Crag, about halfway up Cedar Mountain is home to the Antelope Boulder, one of the all-around best boulders in the Cody area.

For an easy access bit of bouldering for folks on a time crunch, the Highway area can be just right.

The Sphinx is your winter bouldering go-to spot if you want to fit in a quick lunch climb or if you have all day to work problems.

Lower Granite is Cody’s latest and greatest scene for climbing.

Mid-Mountain bouldering area lives up to its name. It’s halfway between Africa and the Maze, closest to the car and still hides projects that haven’t been developed yet. Climb your heart out in this spot.
