suggested vedauwoo rack

a buddy and i are going out west june 6-13 and are going to be stopping by Vedauwoo for a few days. i was wondering what most people in the area are using for a rack when they are climbing there. for a combine rack we have:
1-00tcu
1-0tcu
2-1tcus
2-2tcus
2-3tcus
1-4tcu
2-.5 C4s
3- .75 C4s
3- 1 C4s
3- 2 C4s
2- 3 C4s
2 or 3- 3 C4s
and a 1- 5 C4

is there some more gear that we need? or will this get us up most of the stuff around... also if any one has any route recomendations that would be great

Ben,

There are a ton of climbs at Vedauwoo that will be well protected with your rack (like all of the climbs that Pablo mentioned without an OW note). If you want to do some offwidths I would recommend bringing a few more big pieces #4, #6 C4 if you have them.

In addition to the climbs that Pablo mentioned, go to Fall Wall and Walt's Wall. The routes there are mixed and sport with some trad mixed in. Bring some RP's or equivalent to supplement for some of the lines on Fall Wall.

Enjoy your trip!!

hey guys thanks for the gear and route beta. we will also have 2 sets of nuts some micros and a few hexes so the passive pro is covered. it turns out that we only have 2 #4s so that may limit us a bit but i think there will be plenty to keep us busy while we are there. thanks for all the help

Here are a few classics that weren't mentioned and the biggest piece needed for each (in new C4 sizes):

Currey's Diagonal #2 ***
Beef Eater #3 ***
Fallout #4 **
Gloria #2 **
Spectreman #3 ***
Boardwalk #4 ***
Blade Runner #1 ***
Straight & Narrow #4 ***
Behind Blue Eyes #.75 **
Moonrise Variation one #5 **
Edwards Crack #3 ***
Hooker #3 **
Middle Parallel Space one #5 ***
Hung Like a Horse #4 ***
Strawberry Jam #4 **

This is just a sampling. Many quality pitches that don't require a ton of big gear.

one more question what do most of you guys use as a guide book for the area?

In my opinion both of the newer guidebooks are good.

Fat crack country is a smaller book and is in black and white with fewer topos but still has enough for a lifetime.

The newer one called rock climbing at Vedauwoo, Wyoming by Robert Kelman is really nice with tons of color photos and topos.

You can buy both of the books at many places in Laramie, Big Hoss Mountain Sports and Cross Country Connection are both in Laramie's small downtown and are good businesses to support. If you have any other questions about the climbing or area let me know as I grew up there.

Bring all the big stuff you can get your hands on.If you can find some big bro's you'll be in.
