Before beginning, a couple necessary caveats:

• We just spent the past week in Ten Sleep. It set a high bar as far as concentration of quality pitches and attitude are concerned.
• We may not be strong enough to appreciate the hardest/best routes/areas Wild Iris has to offer (Rodeo Wave, the Erratic). This is our problem.

O.K. now the beefs:

• The quality scale in Lander Rock Climbs (2015), is woefully inconsistent. It deservingly gives Wind & Rattlesnakes 3/3 stars, then turns around and claims Little Buckaroo is cut from the same cloth. Wind is inarguably MEGA-classic, while L.B. is a 20-foot piece of shit that shouldn’t have been bolted.
• the high quantity of low quality lines, to me, indicates two things: Wild Iris has been over developed and those bolting laughable lines are only doing so to rack up FA-credits.
• Shortness of routes. If you climb .13 or .14, please explain what makes projecting one of the 30-footers at Rodeo Wave so spectacular. Why not chase larger, more aesthetic lines? What are we overlooking here?
