Description:
Classic. Two pitch with 50m, can be done in one with 60m rope. Good lead for beginners. As two pitches, belay at obvious ledge at half height. At the top, belay just above the crux wide spot and NOT from the trees well above the vaguely steep stuff. Often climbed solo in the moonlight by locals (and excellent as such). Variants go left and right at the top of Tourist Trap (5.4), a ramp that intersects Ed's at a sloping ledge 15 feet from the crux. Unlike the rest of Vedauwoo, this route is so polished that you do not need tape. Crowded during the summer, and some sunny days in fall and spring.

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.
