Claim Jumper is a climbing area in Wyoming's Shoshone National Forest, within the Washakie Ranger District. It is managed by the Forest Service and sits among several other climbing areas, including Blooming Rose and Pronghorn Pinnacle, both about a tenth of a mile away, and Diamonds in the Rain, also about a tenth of a mile off. The climbing is sport, and the area has seven routes, with grades ranging from 5.5 up to 5.11c/d. Miner's Delight is the hardest, at 5.11c/d, and Claim Jumper is another route with a 5.10c grade. Lever Action is the easiest at 5.5, and Annie Git Yer Drill is at 5.9. The area is a compact cluster, with the OK Corral Trail and Zorro Wall Trail both within about a third of a mile. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Atlantic City show July highs around 78°F with lows near 43°F, while winter highs stay around freezing. That station sits about 1,000 feet lower than the climbing area, so temperatures up here run cooler.
