REYNOLD'S LEFT
1.) Pooh Corner 10b First pitch is a perfect 5.9 handcrack to rap chains/anchors. Second pitch (start of second pitch is shown in photo) is overhanging offwidth that has eaten many a climber. Belay on gear. Scramble off left.
2.) Howling 11a At the top of a small gully just right of Pooh you'll find a finger crack.
3.) Black Starr Chimney 6 Interesting adventure inside a deep, dark recess. First this way and then that, exit over the outside of the large chockstone and belay on gear.
4.) Serpentine 9+ Just 8 feet right of 'Black Starr' is a left facing dihedral. Climb it until it breaks over and belay.
5.) Robert's Rectification 9+ The 'second pitch' of Serpentine, # 4. Offwidth to fists.
6.) Hesitation 8 P1: Just a few feet right of the start of Serpentine, find an open slot. Squirm up to the Serpentine belay. P2: Start # 5 but go up the ramp on the right and belay at the dihedral corner. P3: Go up the dihedral.
7.) Rag - Tag 8+
8.) Vacillation Exit 9+
9.) K.P. 9-
10.) Klink 10a Starts about 30 feet down from Serpentine and Hesitation along the NW facing wall. A nice crackline leads up to a well defined horizontal shelf 40 feet off the deck, but you have to surmount an awkward bulging flake to get there. The belay is on medium large cams and not comforting.
11.) Maiden 7 A great jammin' handcrack leads up to the same shelf that Klink terminates on. Belay behind a large boulder to your right.
12.) Matron 8 A prominent crack is formed between the big boulder and the main rock just right of Maiden.
13.) Like Fun 6 Climb up underneath a huge detached flake and out its left side. Continue up to a belay about 30 ' above.
14.) More Fun 6 Go up and over a block roof above the start of # 13, continuing to the same belay.
15.) Cosmic Debris 8+ Don't become a galactic accident and protect this well. Its a cool climb, but use your head.
16.) Labyrinth 9 One of the most unique climbs at Vedauwoo, an inside double dihedral that could have been called "will I really fit?" Answer, probably. P1: Accomplish the tricky start with your full rack, its always great (shown in photo). Squiggle your way up, not passing up any pro until you find the light at the exit. P2: Unless you want rope drag, you'll think about moving the belay back near the start of the second pitch in the wide flaring corner. Climb the corner to an exposed move (crux) near the top. Photo: Dave Sabetti from Rhode Island has made the starting moves on Pitch 1.
17.) Connecticut Yankee 10c Interesting, sustained cracks continue up and through a squeeze.
DESCENTS: Use Glenda's Chimney rap station (shown in orange / slightly right and down from the top of # 17) for the last 5 climbs, and others if you can get there. Otherwise walk/scramble off to the N / left.
