I am headed down to sinks and wild iris in a couple of weeks and was wondering if anyone had any route suggestions for the 5.11 to 5.12 climber. Never been down there and wondering what walls and routes are the best.
Thanks for any info/suggestions!

Head to the Killer Cave at Sinks. Killer and Brown Trout are good. There are also plenty of others there.

Talk to Vance White at the climbing shop in town, he is a super cool guy who will be happy to give you route suggestions at any grade, he's done them all and wrote the guidebook for the area!
In Sinks there are probably 20 climbs that are all ultra classic in those grades, you just have to pick which ones look nicest to you. It is a great place to push your limits too. If you get bored at Sinks, check out the nearby Tensleep Canyon, it is one of the best crags in the country and totally deserted most of the time but with awesome routes.
Don't plan on getting much done at the Iris until at least June, it tends to be snowed in until then. You could get lucky tho...

I'm barely a 5.11 climber so my tick list in that range is limited, but I suggest Corner Drug (11a), Whipperly Wamberly Walk (11b), Elmo's Fish (10d), and Harvest Moon (11a) at Sinks. I love that place, probably my favorite sport climbing crag.
