Gallery | Climbing | Climbing Renold's Hill in Vedauwoo: June 21-22, 2008

Even after spending years of weekends at Vedauwoo, there are still new places to explore. On this trip, we checked out the Reynold's Hill formation for the first time, and found new camping in the northeast corner of the forest.

They hung three guys at the top of this climb in order to attempt the second pitch - but came down quickly.
