Ah, the Big South Fork, truly lotsa stone. It's only a commute for you, Ray. Go forth to the Tenn. border joung First Ascender!

Cool. Thanks for the recommendations on that place lurkist. I forgot all about it man. There definitely is a shit load of stone down there. I remember trying to climb probably the most striking line I've ever seen back at Rock Creek like 8 years ago. It was arching and turned to flaring fists at top. Beautiful arching line under a waterfall.

Vedauwoo? Heck, that's < 2 hours from my place and I'd still rather drive 3 hours to climb the cracks in the S. Platte. Or 6 hours to the Indian Creek area.
You want sandstone crack... and nobody mentioned the desert? What are you all, a buncha south-eastern folk?
In all seriousness, go take a few weeks in the desert and come back fresh-hearted. If you need partners, I might be able hook you up with people.

I've got over 100 FA's to do on my list. The stuff is out there closer than you think.

Man you really don't want to live in Laramie the climbing season is SHORT. It snows up there in July! You won't get much in from oct to mid april and May and June are often rainy/snowy. If you do like wide it's obviously one of the best places but otherwise you have about 20-30 other good cracks there tops, it's really quite a small area especially compared to your backyard. If you are used to a town the size of Lex and like it you will likely go crazy in Laramie. The wind alone will drive you nuts and the job market there as with anywhere in Wyo is way limited.

Damn. I think you just talked me out of it!
I think I made it over my hump though thanks to some great guys who showed me the light.

I moved to Chattavegas in May. I ain't movin' nowhere else. Ever.
