Some minor issues

I am glad you posted this page. This is an interesting mountain range that is overshadowed, and without good access. I think it is a worthwhile place to visit.

However, I wouldn't consider this range to be in the "Southeast corner". I would say southeast. Casper is not in the "Southeast corner" of Wyoming. I know, I have stayed there.

Also, check your spelling. In the first section, you write "Larmaie Range".

Also, I don't think "Vedauwoo" is in the Laramie Mountains, is it?

Re: Some minor issues

Thanks for the feedback. I get ahead of myself, even while double checking my spelling. You are right about the location.....As for vedauwoo, I know it is in the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, but im not sure if it is in the Laramie Mountains or not. P.S.- You have some awesome pictures......Happy Climbing

Re: Some minor issues

Vedauwoo is not in the Laramie Range; it is in the Sherman Range, so you should detach it from this page...

Thanks man

Thanks for the compliment on my pictures. I just put up a new page of a really cool mountain in Nevada. Nobody's voted on it yet. It is Virginia Peak.

Few geographic details regarding the Laramie Range

First off Vedauwoo is technically right in the middle of the Laramie range(east/west) Kind of half way between Laramie and Cheyenne but closer to Laramie of course. North/South distribution(Laramie range)puts it mostly in Wyoming ~85% with a small portion in extreme northern Colorado. The extreme northern extent is the area between Casper mountain and Bessemer mountain. Was the result of the Laramide orogeny(mountain building event)close to 80 million years ago. These are very "new, youthful" as far as mountains are concerned. Pre-cambrian intrusive granite technically referred to as "Sherman granite". No such thing as the Sherman mountains. Spent quite a bit of time in this area while living there for close to 6 years. Climbed a bunch of routes at Vedauwoo, Blair, and Reynolds hill. Access is moderate, very rugged in places, less rugged in others.
