connecting our Local Communities

Spanning over 2.2 million acres just a few miles from Lander, the Wind River Indian Reservation is home to both the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes. We believe that the climbing and tribal communities share a common commitment to respecting and protecting the lands we cherish.

Through this free clinic during the festival and other educational programming throughout the year, we hope to continue creating more opportunities for our local communities to connect through climbing.
