Reynolds Hill 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 and hiking destinations, with Devil's Playground Trail and the Muscle and Fitness climbing area both about 0.2 miles away. The climbing here is well stocked. There are 47 routes, with 40 of them trad and the rest boulder or mixed. Grades run from 5.5 up to 5.13-, with a few boulders in the V0 to V4 range. Black Starr Chimney is a mixed route at 5.5, and Spatial Relations is a trad 5.13-. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station in Laramie run to a high of 81°F and a low of 52°F, and that station sits about 850 feet lower than Reynolds Hill, so temperatures on the hill run cooler. The station also records roughly 10 to 12 wet days a month from May through September. Vedauwoo lies about 0.6 miles away and has its own climbing and camping at Vedauwoo Campground. Devil's Slide Trail is about 0.4 miles off, and Slide Bail-Out, a mountain biking route, is a similar distance.
