Vedauwoo

The Nautilus

Erika and I spent the weekend in Vedauwoo. I had heard mixed reviews on the bouldering there and I was interested to see it myself. The climbing primarily involves using crystals and cobbles on vertical faces and slabs. There are certainly many high quality exceptions to this rule, but Vedauwoo is definitely a bit more about technique than thuggery. This suits my strengths and I quite enjoyed the climbing. No matter what you think of the climbing, there is no denying the beauty of the landscape. Golden granite blocks speckled with yellow and red lichen rise from a forest of aspens and pines. Erika and I enjoyed two beautiful days of climbing and an incredibly starry night of camping. I came away intrigued and looking forward to revisiting this place sometime in the future.
