About French Cattle Ranch (Ten Sleep)

The French Cattle Ranch is one of Ten Sleep's larger multi-sector destinations — 'choice routes and beautiful gold, white and blue rock' spread across seven distinct climbing sectors including Big Kahuna Pillar, Sector Shinto, Back Forty, Whiny Baby Wall, and Grasshopper Wall. Bighorn Dolomite pocket climbing at 2500m altitude. Approach is 25-40 minutes across the creek — 'a bit of a slog getting there but well worth it' — check river conditions. Ten Sleep community voluntary raptor closure through Aug 15 applies to specific sectors.
