Jacob Kauppila is an avid photographer and climber based at the foot of the beautiful Big Horn Mountains in Sheridan, WY. The pictures in this gallery are all from a little known place called Tensleep Canyon, also in the Big Horns. The rock consists of mostly Big Horn Dolomite (a type of limestone) and the quality of the routes here is amazing with many clean walls and sheer faces. There are also some pictures of the wildlife, scenery, and the tiny town of Tensleep, WY. For more visit: www.jkphotography.printroom.com
