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.

Warrior Peaks rise to 12,411 feet (3,783 m) on the southern side of the Cirque of the Towers, just west of War Bonnet Peak and along the Continental Divide. The U.S. Forest Service does not publish aggregated fatality records for the Wind River Range, but documented accidents include falls from steep class 4/5 terrain and falling rock in 1993, 2007, 2015 and 2018; a 2007 incident involved an experienced NOLS leader.

Warrior Peaks rises just west of War Bonnet Peak on the southern rim of the Cirque of the Towers, a granite basin that draws rock climbers to the Wind River Range. The name follows the warrior motif shared with its neighbour, and the peaks sit along the Continental Divide.

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.
