Description Suggest change

This is a cool bouldering area with a concentration of both crack and face problems. The namesake problem of the area, Nat's Three Star Roof, is a Vedauwoo classic and is one of the longest roof cracks in Vedauwoo.

This is the area erroneously named "The Burbs" in Kelman's newest Vedauwoo guidebook. Somebody renamed many of the boulder problems, called them routes, and even bolted a couple of them. This is a practice that is highly discouraged at Vedauwoo.

Getting There Suggest change

Drive for 0.7 miles after the Vedauwoo road turns to dirt (if coming from I-80), and turn right into a parking area and park. Follow the two track road, which starts at the southwest end of the parking area, for a couple hundred feet and as soon as you see a small distinct pointy rock formation in the field to the south, walk over to it.

Tapeworm Roof: Located on the far side of the formation West and across the drainage from Nat's Three Star Roof.<br> <br> 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.
