Ascent Notes for: Edwards Crack - 5.7 Average Rating : 4.56/5

Not sure why this is such a classic. Tricky first three moves and last three moves. Super easy in the middle.

none

Still a one move wonder.

Fun. tough part for me was the start, but it was a cruise from there. Left side in for the roof.

I was excited to try this route when I first saw it. As we got closer, I realized that it is lower angled than I thought. The first short part was a fun, layback/OW section. After that, I basically walked up the crack and set only 2 pieces. Then the top part that was actually vertical was fun, but only a couple moves to the top. I do have to say that I think that this route may have the only jug in vedauwoo. I was a bit disappointed. Im not sure how this was considered a 5.7 when Mother #1 kicked my ass the day before.

Great climb for a full moon

THe jug isn't visible til the end.

Ran this route shortly after moving to Laramie. Had to wait for another group to clear off but it was worth it. The start is pretty tricky with a rack on but after that it is extremely simple all the way to the mild crux. In the crux your biggest obstacle is not getting your harness and gear cammed in the crack.

Friend soloed up in front of me so I decided to try and catch him. Did pretty well. Such a fun climb to cruise on. Glad I brought the #4 for the crux at the end. After some beers we thought about soloing it in the moonlight. Weren't quite motivated enough.

Good
