Spectreman 

Superb. Get on it. The gear is beyond solid - so no excuses. The gear recommendation is perfect, you won't need much more than that. In fact you'll be headed up this faster placing with spacing.

A little beta for a rest half way up just before the crux - there is a rail out to the right that you can get both feet on and press you back against the left wall - no hands. If you have small hands (#1 cam size), the first part will be the crux, but if you have any bigger hands the steep #1 cam sized crack after the rest is definitely the crux. This is one that you have no good reason not to go for it.

The real cool thing is that if you fall it is super clean. I agree with everyone else, no excuses jump on.

I have been to most of the best crack climbing areas in the country and can say without hesitation that this is one of the best cracks anywhere. Very steep, excellent size, very safe and very pumpy. Go for it!

It would be hard to imagine a more amazing feature in a more beautiful, uncrowded setting. This gets my award for the prettiest spot at Vedauwoo... it would be nice if there were a few more moderates in the area, but then it would probably be as popular as the Nautilus. The gear list is almost perfect, though you could get by with one less #1 and #2 camalot (backcleaning from the rests), and still get a piece every body length.

What is up with Vedauwoo grades. In the book, Automotive Supply House is rated 11b, but Sperctreman is rated 11c. Sperctreman is definitely a grade easier than Automotive Supply House. Sandbaggers!

Vedauwoo Mega Classic. Pictures don't do justice as to how steep this route is. Your own eyes don't even tell you the truth. It's only after you've lowered off the anchors, and are somehow standing on the ground at a point 15 feet or so out from where you started, that you look up and go, "whooooaaaa!!!"

The route is beautiful. Sustained 11- until the exit move. I thought that to be the crux at 11c. It looks like it eases off from the bottom but is actually the least straight-forward and most awkward move of the route.

The tier above Spectreman has a bunch of really fun 5.10 cracks. You can access it from around the corner of the Mystery Blocks. A short 5.7 OW will get you up to the base of the cracks. The steep stemming crack is 5.11 and I think it's called Real Men Don't Spread Their Legs.

Steep, pumpy, and classic. Go hop on it.

This is the best route in the known universe. A visit to Vedauwoo is not complete until you have sent The Spectreman. Big fat manly hands are a disadvantage and will make you seem weak as a school girl unless you have advanced technique.

School girl hands are a must and never a disadvantage while sliding your mittens inside this crack. Sometimes a soft touch is all you need to work the Spectreman to your advantage;)

John Wilke led on the first ascent. Myself, John Rutt, and Joe Cupps followed. about a million years ago, Maybe '80? '79? I bet it was '79. I think it was the summer before John Rutt died in the Buggs....

We rated it .11b in those EB days. For years later, there was talk of rating it .11a, because 'we couldn't climb that hard.'

No real stopper moves, but the pump will wear you out and when the jamming gets thin, it's tough. DO it before you are too tired for the day. There are good placements and good stances adequately spaced to place from to make this a safe route to really push yourself on.

Mega classic, one of the nicest granite crack pitches I've ever climbed (or seen). Enduro Corner training?
