Eagle Rock is a climbing area in southeastern Wyoming, about 9 miles from the community of Hirsig. It sits in a cluster of climbing spots, so it pairs easily with other crags for a full day on the rock. Summer through early fall is the most comfortable time to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Laramie show July highs around 81°F with lows near 52°F, and September highs around 72°F with lows in the low 40s. Winters are cold, with typical January highs in the low 30s. Telephone Road, another climbing area, is only about a third of a mile away, and Beehive Buttress lies roughly 7 miles off. Within about 6 miles you'll also find hiking on the Pilot Hill Trail and overnight sites at Yellow Pine Campground.
