We're stopping at Vedauwoo on our way home from our road trip and I'd like to get some climbing in. We will probably only have the afternoon to climb, so I'd like your recommendations for the best use of the time (e.g. is there a certain area that we can get a lot of climbing in without moving around a lot?). I've never done offwidths, not a pro at cracks, and love slabs. What can you recommend if we are looking to climb 5.7ish and below? Thanks.

Do Edward's Crack 5.7, located on Walt's Wall. You will be so content you won't need to do anything else after that, but if you are feeling up to it, there are some fun easy things close by, EO Lieback is fun and easy, also EO Friction is a fun climb. If you do those three you will get a pretty good taste of what Vedauwoo is all about but at an easy level. Edward's crack is a must, it's a perfect hand crack with an offwidth roof finish, or you can do a variation with a friction finish or a hand crack finish. Don't leave until you climb it!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
