Bloody Fist .9, Teiton. Nice OW/fist, not nearly as bad as the name implies. smile.gif

 

Another vote for Tieton (Royal Columns, exactly): Ignorant Pursuit, 5.8+, immediately left of the Render Us Weightless Roof. Inside flaring O/W. Pro really sucks, if you can find any.

speaking of talking shit about wide cracks you or i haven't done

 

the ultimate squamish o.w. day would be linking tall skinny people into public image...then blasting up bop till you drop, boogie till you puke and the scimitar on the walk out down the backside trail.

can echo most of layton's

 

would add hyperspace but that's only one (difficult!) move, then a bit of chimney

 

for craggin' practice, private idaho at index has both in concentration--battered sammich (.9) for good chimney, w/ two .9's on either side that harbor ow.

 

still NW? skaha has piled higher and steeper, a somewhat overhangin ow with features that help a bit. great sustained gruntin', bring lotsa 4-4.5 camalots or equiv.

 

i hear midnight at 11worth has some good'uns, but never been.

tall skinny ppl is an unrepeated 10c chimney full of loose rock, moss, running water, orcs, and lycra tearing sharp objects. its supposed to be a rreal classic and you need two #4 camalots

 

it leads up to public image which is the obvious wide crack at the right end of astro ledge. dean hart ended up wearing 2 different shoes for this one - a slipper for his outside foot and a taped up Fire for his inside foot. it goes at 11c and features 5.11 chimney and 5.11 offwidth. i dunno if it has ever been repeated either? its one of the mostest obvious lines in squamish after u-wall though.
