North Corner is a climbing area in the Laramie Ranger District of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest in Wyoming, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with East Corner and The Heap each about 0.1 mile away and John's Tower about 0.2 mile off. The Regolith Trail and Green Mountain Trail are both about half a mile away for anyone who wants to pair a climb with a hike. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Laramie show July highs around 81°F with lows near 52°F, and the station sits about 1,000 feet lower than the area, so temperatures at North Corner run cooler. The area has seven routes, with trad climbing making up most of them and mixed and bouldering styles also represented. Grades range from 5.8 to 5.12-, with Dance of the Infidel at 5.12- and Easter Island at 5.11c/d. North Corner Layback is a boulder problem at 5.8.
