California Corner is a sport climbing area in the Powder River Ranger District of Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among two other climbing areas, House Wall and Ministry Wall, both about 0.1 mile away, which makes it easy to pair with a visit to either of them. The area has five sport routes, all rated between 5.10a and 5.11a. California Corner is the namesake route at 5.10a, and Crown Town and Shady Grove are both 5.10d. Home sweet home is the hardest at 5.11a. All the routes were first ascended by Louie Anderson in 2016, except Shady Grove, which was first climbed by Willem Becker in 2001.
