Warrior Peaks, Mountain summit in Wind River Range, Wyoming, US
Warrior Peaks are a cluster of summits in the southern Wind River Range near the Continental Divide, featuring some of the most technically demanding climbing terrain in Wyoming. The massif is defined by steep granite walls and narrow cracks that create intricate routes for skilled climbers.
The peaks were first officially surveyed and documented in the 19th century, marking the beginning of mountaineering interest in the area. Since then, they have become a destination for climbers seeking technical challenges in the high country.
The peaks sit in lands that held deep meaning for Indigenous peoples who hunted and gathered in these high elevations for countless generations. These mountains remain spiritually and culturally important to their descendants today.
Climbers need advanced skills and proper gear to handle the steep rock and exposure, as weather can change rapidly at this elevation. Access is best during warmer months when snow has melted and conditions allow safe passage through the terrain.
The massif sits beside the Cirque of the Towers, a granite amphitheater that offers climbing routes at various difficulty levels nearby. Many visitors combine trips to both places to experience different climbing styles within walking distance.
