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.

Ascent Note
This is an awesome climb! I struggled at the crux, which is a roof, but afterwards found out that it would have been easier to work it from the right side rather than the left like I did. The crack is a blast, and overall the climb was especially satisfying. I gained a lot of confidence in my crack leading ability on this climb. Protection was easy to place the whole way. I ended up using mostly SLCDs. We didn't start until about 5:45 PM and ended up finishing the rappel down in the dark. I had my headlamp though, so it wasn't a problem.
