Tricky climbing. May seem harder than Hope Springs Eternal for some.

Sustained technical moves. Stays close to the rounded arete. Shares anchor with Dark Days.

Follow the corner up and until you can step left onto the face. Continue up to anchor. Named after the rare mega-beaver moon.

bouldery at start to sustained groove up high, just to right of "snap back.." and identified by a line of huecos by 2nd or 3rd bolt

A nice easy slab that climbs up good nubbins and uses some holds on the arete. There are loose rocks in the crack to the left so be aware.

Start on crimps, which lead to a small roof.  Move right around the roof and continue upward until the crack ends and pockets start.

Stem corner through bulge down low then step out onto the face. Pockets and side pulls lead to and through crux bulge above.

Just left of "candy man". Pockets and huecos, well protected.

to the right of "wicked garden".  bouldery beginning to 5.12 exit to overhang, decent

just to the right of "savages", obvious hueco above first bolt, start w/ first bolt pre clipped and boulder out the bottom crux to (2) 5.12 cruxes above.

Beneath huge roof and behind giant burned down juniper tree, a dirty little slab, technical and devious.

Long route with a pumpy finish. A bit sandy.

corner with bushes to the right of "savages". a dirty grovel.

The beginning / 1st pitch of this climb climbs great holds up to the intermediate anchor.

beneath roof, climb up a prow to gain higher face, devious as well and hard for the grade

The crux for most is hanging on to the end. Make sure you get the sequence right for clipping the anchor.

climb left along the flake or up harder line on right? after standing atop flake and reaching large dish, head right toward harder but fun finish

Fiercely thin crimping, well describe this line.  Meander through the first few bolts to a thin crux.  Some fairly continuous, but not so thin climbing follows to the chains.  Rumor has it this is the hardest 12b at Sinks.  Shares anchors with the Wilds.

Immediately left of Achin' for Bootie.  Similar climbing, slightly easier.

Start in corner just to the right of Bust a Nut. Move up corner and then work onto face out right. Finish with great position on arete.

An easy romp to the intermediate chains, leads to steep pocket pulling of the fun variety.  Worth 2.5 stars, would be more if it were longer lived.

A stout and thoughtful climb with two distinct cruxes.  Some fun laybacking and footwork oriented climbing (isn't it all?) lead to the upper face.  The final crux may be height dependent (12a?), pull down on crimps and pockets, possibly deadpointing for the shorties.  Shares anchors with Get On With It (12b) to the left.

A little dirty still. A burly thumbdercling start leads to more crimpiness and a mellower finish.

Two routes to the right of "the wilds". A technical black water streak that has several hard cruxes. Expect a burly thin crux on a microscopic crimp at half height, and the iconic mono crux near the top. One of the first 5.13 sport routes in Wyoming. Classic.

Left of Earth AD. Prow of sorts and friable face holds.

This one felt like a slightly more distinct crux after the 2nd bolt than sandman to it's right, with  delicate and balancy climbing.

"The King and I" is a nice short route on great rock with some fun pocket moves.

It starts with a boulder problem off of underclings in a mini roof to small pockets above the first bolt (crux). After the second bolt, continue up bigger incut pockets on the gently overhanging bulge.

A stick clip is nice to have as the crux is right off the ground.

Better than it looks, and quite fun at that.  Climbs some delicate 5.10ish lower angle rock through a few bolts before continuous 5.11- climbing punches through the upper headwall.  Fun climbing on mostly good holds.

Begin the same as Candy Man, on the low-angle "Candy Man Intro" ramp.  At the first anchors, continue up and right on sinker jugs with a high crux. This one of the tallest routes at the wilds.

For a more sustained experience try the Ankle Device link up,  a small but easy run-out will apply.

Really fun climb with a low technical crux and a high, pumpy one. Slightly gritty near the top, but should clean up. A little bit of everything from technical slabby face to steep pockets.

Bouldery start gains the fractured flake system to face above.

Slab right of corner,;will be the first route you walk by on your way to the rest of the routes in the Wilds.  Just to the right of Bust a Nut.

This lines begins with a few thin moves up to a right facing layaway flake.  Pumpy barn door climbing up the flake lead to fun continuous climbing to the anchors, just into the final bulge.

Scramble up slab then surmount bulge. Consistent climbing throughout leads to steep finish.

20' of easy slab climbing leads to steep bulge. Surmount the bulge on thin crimps (crux) then make your way to the small roof. Pull roof on long moves. Upper headwall and final bulge are on decent pockets though steep and pumpy.

Awesome cave climbing for the 5.11 climber !! The crux is near the top, but there's no place to rest.

The swing away from the wall after unclipping your first draw on the way down (way high over easy climbing) is almost as fun as the climbing !

under roof, the most right route, identified by a lieback/finger crack half way up route, great moves and interesting

The arete climbing on this one is really unique for sinks and is alot of fun. Unfortunately is shares the terrible start as Blammo, but the rest of the climb is great.

Climb up geasy slopey holds at the bottom to gain the crack at the roof. Traverse left on underclings and begin balancing your way up the arete with few face holds.

Better than Blammo IMO.

Huge roof feature at the Wilds area with  routes beneath it, from left to right this is the first route, identified by twin cracks running up and to the right.
