Cliffs Beyond Difficulty is a climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land within the Rawlins Field Office in Wyoming. The area is managed by the BLM, and the single route listed here, No Difficulty Here, is a sport climb rated 5.9 on the YDS scale. It was first climbed by Horning and S. Archer. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 84°F in July and lows near 57°F, while winter highs stay around 31°F. That station sits about 860 feet lower than the climbing area, so temperatures at the cliffs run cooler. Prior Flat Campground is about 9 miles away, and Shirley Basin Reservoir, a fishing spot, is a similar distance.
