A wild trad and rad boulder problem that requires serious core strength. Certainly height-dependent in difficulty. This line starts on Nat's Roof Crack.  Climb Nat's to the final rail that dead ends on crimps on the right side of the crack. Make the crazy (height-dependent) feet stab to the big shelf further right.  Cam your feet into the shelf and work your way to the right, exiting up the crack immediately to the right of Nat's.

This is probably Vedauwoo's most well-known and classic roof crack boulder problem.

Crawl deep into the cave, all the way to the very first hand jam about twenty feet back, and jam out to and over the lip encountering a tricky pod or two along the way. To top out, follow the crack to the top (recommended but a bit of a pain to get down) or traverse left or jump down after the lip.

A cool extention starts all the way in the back of the roof where the crack is a gaping chimney, and climbs all the way out.

Climb a finger crack just right of After Shock.  Move left to a right-facing dihedral when the finger crack ends.  Follow this, then merge with

Roll Bones

and After Shock to the anchors.  The first 10 feet or so is the crux.  It then mellows out considerable after that.

Cool, balancy liebacking for a couple moves up a seam turns into crystal crimping on big, comfy, solid crystals to the top of the boulder.  Aim for the shelf to the right.  This thing is classic, and it will stay that way as long as all the key crystals stay on.

Cruiser hand and wide-hand jams up a slightly slabby face.

This one is not as classic as Nat's but definitely has a few difficult jams down low and gets you warmed up for the enduro crack climbing next door. Sit start beneath the overhanging fingers to hands crack, continue up the wide section either laying back and stemming or the much more difficult full on off-widthing.  Top out higher up on the formation and down climb the backside.

Located on the far side of the formation West and across the drainage from Nat's Three Star Roof.

Start as far back on the rail, and try not to drag your butt like a dog with the worms as you climb right to left. At the end of the rail, top out using poor holds and/or a flared jam.

Climb an easy hand crack, then a sloping face with a crack on the left.  Turn left and move towards the east face.  Here you merge with

Shell Shock

.  At the merger, climb a short, easy crack and merge with After Shock.  This leaves another short crack to the anchors.  This is an easier lead that protects very well.

An enjoyable yet frustrating face problem on a rounded arete.

This is a fun rail traverse, and it serves as a good warm up for the area.  Start at either side of the rail and traverse to the other side, where you mantle.  This is a good one for polishing some basic heel hooking skills.

This problem has a nice flow to it and is a really good one to warm up the fingers on. Start sitting with hands in flared jams (harder) or standing using slopers. Either way the first moves is a little akward for the feet. Follow the seam up diagonally to the right until it stops then go straight up on crimps to the lip.

This climb is in the middle of the east wall and begins in the wide crack formed by the right edge of the flake that forms Packing the 9.  Climb the wide crack for a few feet.  Where it branches, go left to the top of the flake then follow a handcrack to a shelf.  Continue on another handcrack to the top.

This is a cool little roof crack formed where two boulders touch.  Start on two hand jams and climb out left to an offwidth exit.  You can also start on the very left end and climb out right through some awkward flared hands.  This one is a fair bit easier than other Vedauwoo 11+ boulder problems, so it is a good one to get started on.

This is a thirty foot offwidth roof.  It is really unique because you start about ten feet above the lip and then climb down and out.  There is a very problematic rock at the start which makes the first ten feet a little contrived, and keeps this thing from being really classic.  Start inverted on the far side of the problematic rock and climb all the way out, not topping out in the obvious pod/alcove.

For a cool 11+ eliminate, call the cracks in the alcove/low feet in the alcove/top of the alcove off, as well as any edges on the vertical face which is on the left when looking into the cave.

Climb an easy wide crack to the left of

Roll Bones

.  Finish the same as

Roll Bones

.  This is an easier lead that protects very well with a couple of bigger pieces.  We felt it was a little more thought provoking than

Roll Bones

.

Pinch the overhanging, big crystal start to featured green slab above.

Deniro is a short route atop Nat's. This is not too sustained and a good intro to slab. Begin on

Nat's

or traverse in from the left on crystals. Clip 5 bolts to the top of the formation.
