August 3-5, 2007. Vedauwoo Boogaloo
At Crimpie's request, let's examine the beta for the Boogaloo. I'm thinking many people will fly into Denver or wherever they may have friends and ride to Wyoming with them. This also allows some climbing in Colorado in and around the weekend. But let's look at some other possibilities. Here's a Google map link to the turnoff on Vedauwoo Road.

You could also fly into Laramie, WY or Fort Collins. If you wanted to be self-sufficient and rent a car, that's an option. But really, someone can probably pick you up.
Laramie is 16 miles away, so you could go into town to eat if you want. Camping is $6 per night and it includes water, bathrooms, and picnic pables. It's first come first serve, so we will head up and get a good site for us all. There free camping nearby for overflow.
We will bring extra grills, ice chests, ice, solar shower, silver ware and plates, you name it. So those of you flying in just get a little food at the grocery store, maybe some meat and drinks, and just show up.
If you don't have a guide book, mountainproject has some of the routes listed. You can print them out in a batch.

Good point, the campground is beautiful and "comodious," with a lifetime's full of idiosyncratic climbing a few minutes walk away. However, that date frame is, bullseye in, that campground's heavy season. As libertine as Wyo is, the highway patrol does respond to noise violations in that particular zone. Some of the RV-generator crew ironically insist on quiet hours as well.
For a bacchanal of this scope other options must be considered. There are some other spots within three klicks of there that I can think of and there were some people perporting to be advance scouts checking this all out. But the campground is a good starting locus, maybe the overflow, as well.
I hope I don't need to add, that in greater Vedauwoo there has, in the past, been a broken glass, off-road tire rut, kind of problem. This would be a stellar time to be one with the "Leave no trace" ethic.
I am planning to stay late and clean up. Is it too harsh to say bring trash bags or be prepared to be left out of the coolist sh#t?
mapquest style edit;
Since 1/1/77 this has been my "default location," though gawd knows, I have strayed.

I'm in. I just need to make the flight reservations. I will likely fly into Denver and figure it out from there. I'd like to spend at least a week though.
Let me know who will be around to play with. I'm an off width noob but happy to try anything.

Long sleeve shirts are key! As is tape, sturdy pants, and a wind breaker. Love Vedauwoo, spent 5 weeks there a couple summers ago, still have the scars! The normal campground is nice, but seems like you all could get one of the out of the way spots as well. Around the nats or polland hill?

Chris Peisker, Kevin Bein, me and several of our friends got asked to leave the main campground back in 1981...we were asked in a nice way to never come back. Must have been a wild party...I don't remember!

More than likely we have met. Did you climb with them in SD???

After you leave Centinial right before you start going up to snowy range medicene bow peak area there was/ maybe still are awesome cabins that are off a dirt road in the woods. was very cheap but 45mins from Vedauwoo only 10 mins from snowy range which has routes. You all have to go and party at Centinial one night.

Hey Riley,
When you get your plans firmed up time frame wise, given that you want to climb in Boulder, we should plan to do a mellow Flatiron route. I'll have to stay out of Eldo prior to to the Boogaloo; gotta save what little reserves I posess for a couple Vedauwoo blow outs.

I have a request:

It could be the single largest gathering of large cams EVAH, and it should be documented.

There are even some pretty good sport routes, even sorta steep, though maybe just "vert" by Southeast standards. I think the call it the cove? Plus some others scattered here and there.
Oh, and if you are there on a Tuesday, all you can eat tacos at this Mexican place in Laramie, it is right off of 70 in a hotel. Cheap to, like $4.00 or something.

Still bitter that I can't make it. I'm going out today to try and ride up Vail Pass to see if I'll actually be able to survive the ride. However, if any folks are planning on overflow weekends on either side (Jaybro mentioned this possibility), I'd love to catch up in Vedauwoo. And if anyone is passing through Frisco, CO, look me up. I'll be the guy who is walking funny on Sunday.

So after awhile of driving around I think we have a good place for a base camp. This spot is far enough from the main area so it’s doubtful we will disturb any others. The road access should not be a problem if you have a low clearance car and is fairly easy to find even if you’re new to the Voo.
Reynolds Hill is a quick hike from here or you can drive to the central area and belay from your car. There’s also a nice little cliff within spitting distance of camp for all types of fondling.
I plan to bring a couple extra ropes for the inebriated speed climbing contests in the evenings.
The best approach is upon exiting I-80 you will come to a stop sign.
Zero out your odometer then turn onto Vedauwoo Rd.
Between 4.0 & 4.1 miles you will see forest road sign 700 N.
Turn left (NW) onto 700 N and you will see the rock in the distance.
There are two roads that branch off from 700 N so if you want a little more privacy from the horde you can follow these to many open flat spots to pitch your tent.
There's a good sized firepit by the rock in the lower center of the pic.
What say you boogalooers?

Looks good. I like the idea of being away from the RV crowd so we can be climbers and not entertainment--besides, this way we won't have to sugar up the generator of some cranky coot that needs quiet for his TV time.

Yes it's a cool spot but still not far enough away from the RV crowd that a determined fella couldn't get one back there. A truck with a fifth wheel trailer was close by so anything can happen.
Originally I was looking off 707 which is a little more isolated but due to the offroad conditions as well as the complications of describing directions with no road markings, I believe this is the better space,
Who might be the first one of us out there that week to claim the spot???

I'll be psyched whatever piece of turf is chosen for base camp. Two suggestions: If a spot is way nice but has road clearance issues, shuttling works well--and places difficult to describe can be co-ordinated into google earth for maps and such. I bet TKingsbury would be all over that, his work has proven to me repeatedly that 3-d aerial photo beta maps are the new standard in the modern techno-world.

My only experience with the big V came in '76 in Eldo when we met another crew of stoners fresh from Laramie and spouting off about how, 'dude, the lines are classic'. The whole time he was talking I couldn't take my eyes off his brand new Levi's which had all these odd, perfectly rectangular tears all over them. Once he was done with his spiel I asked him, "did that happen in Veedawoo?". Once he responded in the affirmative the big V was off my list for good given I'm a complete lightweight when it comes to rock with an oppressively agro presentation.

I can't remember when I climbed there last - but it was with George Bracksieck when he was the editor of Rock-n-Ice, so, quite a while. We climbed some easy stuff, a nice day. Saw George not long ago - looking fit, in good company and quite happy.

Jaybro, did you check out the photo sequence of Bob Scarpelli on page 62 in Alpinist #20? It's way cool except for one small "continuity" problem. In the large photo, he is wearing LaSportiva Kaukulators (a great boot)--then in the two smaller photos of the same route he miraculously put on Madrock lowtops, apparently DURING the crux section.
What's up with that ?

So far three folks have mentioned they will not be able to make the latter date, Jello, Zander, & spectreman. If you can make both dates that would be great but we all have our schedules and as of right now the actual rendezvous looks good to go for the 18th.
If you plan to fly into DIA, Skyride runs to Boulder for about $10 bucks and a couple of hours of your time.
Skyride pickups are the last island outside the baggage claim level, cash only, exact change only.

Some have expressed interest in climbing in and around Boulder for a few days. If this is your plan shoot me an email, I have a few acres in town and would be happy to host a mini base camp for any of you fine taco travelers.

ok, right now I'm planning on leaving Livermore late on the 1st, it's about 1150 miles. I don't know if this is going to be 510OW's maiden voyage or not yet... but anyway, it'll take me roughly 16 hours total driving time... I should be there late on the 2nd and I'm planning on being on the east side of the Rockies through the 11th or so...
...right now, the plan is Vedauwoo with some of the other Bay Area OW's officianados the weekend of the 3rd, 4th and 5th... then depending on how much skin is left and what parts it is left on, we'll decide the next move... which could be to stay put.

Eeyonkee, if you've you've been to vedauwoo, you've seen it. It's visible from I-80.
But, been there, done that;now Tripmaster, right below, sorta, is hard to pick out. I think we should find that one together.

Offwidth sucks, or:
Being Married, forcing me to work too much, causing me to have no time to climb in Vedawhatever, therefore I wont make it. Have fun. Climb in shorts. Or both...

Let's plan on the easier one, unless you're set on the harder one, after all, in either case, life is short! I can recall beta in either case. It will be fun.

Love the 'cupcake graphic' have seen people rope up for it. Never seen a tapeless ascent (probably too much previous damage, in every case) maybe
Russ can come show us the way?
Do that one sans tape and you have license (and open wounds) to tape for everything, or maybe not? How will we ever figure this out?
and Todd G,(style edit); if you've been around enough, as a socal guy, to have done that one, you have been around. But, have you done the blind, hanta infested, internal circumnavigation?

Todd, back in the old days, just before BITD™, I ran into the Todd & Paul show on some foray or other in Vedauwoo, or maybe at Ames. In any case back then (maybe now still) there was a block missing on the front of the monument, providing an entrance into the interior. I only crawled in a few body lengths, to check it out, but those guys claimed that there was a tunnel all the around the base, maybe two by two feet, and that to make the hands and knees full tour was cool, but with a head lamp or flashlight was cheating.
Never did it myslef, maybe a boogaloo party game?
would I wear diapers? Depends!

from post #1
August 3-5 and 17-19, 2007. Vedauwoo Boogaloo
At Crimpie's request, let's examine the beta for the Boogaloo. I'm thinking many people will fly into Denver or wherever they may have friends and ride to Wyoming with them. This also allows some climbing in Colorado in and around the weekend. But let's look at some other possibilities. Here's a Google map link to the turnoff on Vedauwoo Road.
http://tinyurl.com/22ojyc
You could also fly into Laramie, WY or Fort Collins. If you wanted to be self-sufficient and rent a car, that's an option. But really, someone can probably pick you up.
Laramie is 16 miles away, so you could go into town to eat if you want. Camping is $6 per night and it includes water, bathrooms, and picnic pables. It's first come first serve, so we will head up and get a good site for us all. There free camping nearby for overflow.
We will bring extra grills, ice chests, ice, solar shower, silver ware and plates, you name it. So those of you flying in just get a little food at the grocery store, maybe some meat and drinks, and just show up.
If you don't have a guide book, mountainproject has some of the routes listed. You can print them out in a batch.

I like Anchor Steam as much as anything. Right now we drink Sierra Navade Pale Ale around here. It's the trendy thing and fortunately it's really good.
I'd like to try whatever the local brew is in Laramie/Cheyenne. What is the local brew?

OK, one day away from launching on the roadtrip to the Vedauwoo Boogaloo, Round 1.
Stich and Goatboy have done a grand job at keeping this gathering going, and the innovative response to a scheduling glitch has bifurcated the event into two weekends in August.
I'll be there, along with other Left-coasters... to play on the wide cracks and pay homage to their diffculty with sacraficial DNA offerings (only bringing 10 rolls of tape for 7 days of climbing!)...
...if you're going to be there this weekend I look foward to seeing you! I have no idea how this is all going to end up, but the goal is to get together and climb in a legendary place.
Don't forget there is a website http://www.vedauwoo.org/ to help set your mood.
Be safe on your journey
It should be a fun time!

all you youngin's take note of the old guys, they are pre-registering their injuries, infirmities, and other execuses as to just why things might be harder to do...
...a good lesson for the future...
oh, and I forgot, please note my previous posts on my bad back, inflexible hips, and over-weight condition.
This is going to be fun! (by the way, I still have a gobi on my left elbow from the wide sesh at scuffy_b's two weeks ago).

Ed and Tar, now I'm not trying to make (pre)excuses here. I'm just sayin, ...my hands look ugly. I made the mistake of (unsuccessfully) diving for hand jams after not being able to lieback the super-sharp-flake-above-the-overhang crux of Cary Granite. I got several nasty cuts from the flake in my fingers and equally nasty abrasions on the hands. It's not like you won't be able to see for yourselves. Kinda embarassing, really. Is beer good for cuts healing fast?

If I can keep from doing any yardwork this week, or typing on this nasty keyboard, or doing anything else other than catnappin', I may just have enough strength saved up to be able to climb both Saturday AND Sunday of this coming weekend Boogaloo, or part of the Sunday anyhow.
And yes, beer is good for that nasty abrasion and so much more eekonkee!
"I have here in my hand, the ale which cures what ails' yee, the universal balm it is, tonic of the ages, why even those with one leg in the grave and the other knee stuck in the dankest, darkest of OW's have been known, owing to just three beers, quaffed promptly in steadfast resolve and steadiness, to come back to the campfire of life refreshed, renewed, and fully repented..."

I assume most folks are either driving or flying into Denver or Laramie and renting cars there. If anyone is planning to fly into Cheyenne and would like a ride up to Vedauwoo instead of renting a car, please email me. Likewise if anyone is interested in doing an early morning aerial tour/photo shoot of the Front Range (Boulder-north, including the Diamond) in a Cessna 172, please email me and we can discuss logistics. I'll take up to two observers who are willing to split the cost of a rental airplane for approximately two hours of flight time.... expect to pay about $100 each for your flight. Just throwing that out as an option if anyone wants it. Send an Email with a contact phone number if interested.

Perhaps I was a little harsh, here, may I suggest a few warm-up climbs for the aspiring OW'er:

2. MaxiLash
3. Big Pink
If you find those too easy, I hear there's fun one called "Squat". Bon apetit!

Also (don't know if it was mentioned in what you refered to) Mr Jackson's comment about that route was made by a fit young man in his prime, probably has no relevence to experienced indivuals such as ourselves.heehee

Great list, Eeyokee, (Tar's list (how did I forget flying buttress came up as I was hunt and pecking (just the ones he "know's" would make a five star climbing trip) all worthy, I've led them all.
Right Torpedo Tube
-I though it was the hardest thing I'd ever done when I led an early ascent in ~82, perfect for your big fists; Scarpelli free soloed it once in a Luebben-related rage.
Left Torpedo Tube
-Killer, (one of the John Garson mission climbs, also see B-g crack) I've done it many times,I think I have a date to go up it with, d'antonio, come along, let's have a party!
Horn's Mother - a true off fists classic, not to be missed, I don't expect to ever solo it again
October Light-pure blue coller armbaring and chicken winging; forever. I did the second ascent, I think, not sure if I can go that far without puking, these days.
Suggestions, You've probably done bunches of these, but:
The climb & Punishment, Penis Dimesnion, Hung like a horse alcove; if you haven't been there, you won't believe how cool it is!™
Mainstreet, 10a ow
nearby Bell crack (10/11) and Boardwalk (11), all must do's, if you haven't. Around the corner from Horn's.
Fourth of July is in that same area and is the full Vedauwoo experience; ow to flaring fingers .12a (tee hee!) One of the best pitches anywhere (think Tales, Enduro, Nine lives, etc) ask Tar for (onsight, tapeles,stetson) Beta.
'Some guy's' solo is good for a warm up, big pink will give you a workout. I hear worm drive is good.
Friday the thirteenth, ignore the alleged belay below the first roof!
Easy stuff;
Ed's crack, 5.7, is my favorite climb of all time.
Fall Wall for sandbag slabbin'
Fear & Loathing " " plus OW
Sattefield
H & H Grunt
Piton Perch (semi optimal summit)
Cat's Cradle " ")
Thomas McGary
CupCake crack, of course (points lost for roping up)
seen here, somewhat enhanced
There are stacks more, but that should be a start.

Been lost in wyoming for long long time. Lots of driving if you want to climb real rock. A few notable exceptions like Vedauwoo make it possible.

OK Jaybro, here's my to-do list for the next boogaloo. Whadd'ya think? I've decided to stick with offwidth rather than hands and fists, which is what I mostly ended up on at the last one (my hands can't take much more that soon).
Left Torpedo Tube
Right Torpedo Tube
Big Pink
Worm Drive
(I'm hoping those fist stacks that Scarpelli is using on Big Pink in that guidebook picture are not necessary.)

almost as big as your fist jam.

Scuff, is the cell# I have for you still current? mine is. I'm leaving day after tomorrow. I may be in SLC longer than anticipated, so I could be synchronous with your arrival. We might have a lot of introductory ground to cover, climbwise, refresher for me, "god you're lame", for you (to me). I will have an lb of #101 beans and a grinder, maybe a salmon filet and definetly a grill. Any other essentials could be things you think of, or we scavange in the gem city of the high plains.
Call me if you think of anything. still haven't found my leatherman.
eeyonkee, great list, I'll go with you for those, never touched Worm drive, don't know if I still have (ever had) the tension in my belly for it, but we will have fun. somebody has to go with me to Tripmonk, though.
unicep style edit; Bob D', as I'm afraid you already know, there is nowhere in Vedauwoo that is not 200' from some crack wider than the biggest of lower arms. Come anyway, we will find some mutually positive objective that will challenge us as well as make us all laugh.

My boyfriend is currently in the Tetons, and probably going to swing by Vedauwoo on his way home this weekend. So if any of you folks see a crazy haired guy climbing with a skinny long-haired guy and talking like their harnesses are too tight (That's right!!) then be nice to them.
Or maybe hit them for me, because I'm jealous, stuck back in NYC.

Folks, I'm at a Leadville Trail 100 aid station on Saturday, and a wedding in Boulder on Sunday, and I can't make it. I am bummed. If anyone will be staying later, or arriving earlier, please let me know.

Realmojede reminded me of our upcoming wedding anniversary (which falls during Boogaloo). She would let me go, but I want to keep things good on the homefront. The Kingsbury Brothers are out there representing Montucky, and I'm sure that they will fill me in on all the merriment and climbing that happened at Vedauwoo.
Have fun, y'all.

Have fun though!

Drive to CA to drive to WY or just to climb here? If you drive to CA, I'll definately go climb w/ you!
Edit...to be clear about the carpool thing...it's that I need to be back on Saturday night (early Sun. a.m.). I don't want to drive all that way by myself for something that won't really be going on while I can be there.

Folks will have polished off 3 marathons by the time they get to me. In the early evening, they look pretty good, but as the night wears on the carnage builds. It's the long dark night of the sole in there.
So would I rather be grovelling up some crystal-studded flare?
Actually, yes, but one gets into these situations through previous commitments like marriage. Whattya gonna do.

Hey Rhodo,
Speaking of OB folks, Billy Roos spent a lot of time up in the Leadville area leading trips. One year as a side gig he had me up on Hope Pass with him, taking pictures of all the Leadville 100 contestants. Everybody looks pretty shagged coming back up over the past after the turnaround point down below.

I don't see any runners dissing climbers...climbers are dirty and stink!
And runners are not usually anorexic - they just have a lot less body fat than a lot of climbers because, well, they RUN!

We are at the Boogaloo. Stopped by at 2:30 and it was going to storm. We checked out some routes down by the Lichen Lung then headed out to the campsite- no one was there. We headed back to the Nautilus and took a nap in the car since it rained. We will head out to the Loo tomorrow. We have beer already. There were two tents at the campsite. All's well in Laramie. See you tomorrow at N side of the Valley Massif and near Lichen Lung later.
