Wyoming Prairie Dogs

This crux is a bouldering start to the first bolt. The first bolt is about 12 feet off the ground. It continues to be 5.10 to the third bolt. After few moves above the third bolt, the difficulty backs off to about 5.7 or 5.8. The origin of the name is from an article in the

Denver Post

, about prairie dogs from Wyoming migrating to Boulder County and taking over the burrows of the Colorado prairie dogs. Having lived most of my life in Wyoming, I got chuckle of the imagery of the "cowboy" prairie dogs showing up with big hats, six shooters with an ornery attitude!

This is the first line of bolts left of "

The Ancient of Days

."

7 bolts to a two bolt anchor.
