Obscure but interesting! This crag is on Happy Jack Road, near Curt Gowdy State Park (about midway between Cheyenne and Laramie).
It is seldom visited and you can expect a quiet day - no trails and no crowds.There are about 7 or 8 established routes here, with room for a few more. Additionally there are probably about 40 or 50 established boulder problems.
The stone is excellent - typically featured and finegrained in a manner somewhat out of the ordinary for Vedauwoo.
Getting There
Take Happy Jack Road from either Cheyenne or Laramie to about mile marker 23, near the entrance to Curt Gowdy State Park. Look for a road going north to "North Crow Reservoir" (obvious and well marked with a big sign). Follow this about a mile north until you cross a small creek. Park at the two blue poles just past the creek.
Nice problem - pretty tricky, however.Start low and make a long reach off slopers to a flake.Work up the flake and then bust out left to finish. Finding it: The best bet is to buy the new Vedauwoo Bouldering book by Davin Bagdonas. T Campjack splits up into 3 big formations. The first is the biggest (with Jet Stream on it). Then as you follow Brush Creek past this, there is a smaller second formation, and then a similar sized third formation.This...[more]
I don't know the specifics, but there were some private property issues at campjack. I think one side was private or something. It would be wise to look into this before heading to the area.
I was recently contacted by the owner, who made it clear that this is definitely private land, in spite of the statement in Heel and Toe that says it is on state land.
However, the owner appears to be quite reasonable and is willing to grant permission if you seek it ahead of time. Don't trespass - ask first.
