About Downpour Wall (Ten Sleep)

The Downpour Wall — formerly known as the Slavery Wall until it was renamed in 2020 as part of a broader Ten Sleep community re-naming initiative in support of racial justice — is one of Ten Sleep Canyon's most-visited destinations. A south-facing wall of Bighorn Dolomite in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains, part of the larger Mondo Beyondo area. The wall's original first route Happiness (formerly 'Happiness in Slavery', after the Nine Inch Nails song) gave the wall its historical name. Steep pocketed limestone-style climbing with about a dozen routes mostly in the 5.12 range. Elevation (2350m) makes summer pleasant year-round when accessible. Parking on the north side of US-16 at the top of the canyon.
