TJ Burr, Author and Mountaineer, tells about his experiences at Vedauwoo in his adventure book, Rocky Mountain Adventure Collection.<ref>Burr, 1992</ref> The following is an excerpt from the chapter, Bouldering at Vedauwoo: ″The Vedauwoo rocks are large blocks of weathered Sherman granite primarily composed of crystalline fragments of quartz and feldspar. The higher concentration of feldspar gives the rocks a pinkish tint. They are grouped together in large granite towers formed by stacks of huge rectangular blocks that have been rounded by windblown sand. They provide some of North America's best technical climbs. Although they lack cracks and holds, they provide excellent friction and chimney climbs. Living only fifteen miles from Vedauwoo while attending the University of Wyoming, I had the privilege of spending many weekends climbing, rappelling, and hiking around the rocky wonderland. Vedauwoo provides a welcome outlet for many stressed college students. It is also frequented by technical climbers, family picnickers, and campers. On any given day with nice Wyoming weather, there will be numerous climbers testing their skills on the vertical rock faces of the Vedauwoo Recreation Area.″

Vedauwoo is particularly known for its offwidth [[crack climbing]].<ref>{{citation|magazine=[[Climbing (magazine)|Climbing]]|first=Pamela|last=Pack|author-link=Pamela Pack|url=http://www.climbing.com/route/not-for-masochists-only-vedauwoo-wyoming/|title=Not for Masochists Only: Vedauwoo, Wyoming; Toughen up at this long-time capital of offwidth climbing|access-date=2015-10-19}}.</ref>
