How is the 2nd pitch on Aries an OW? It takes #2 Camalots and is perfect hands. The crack is in the back of some flared rock... but it isn't an offwidth like Damnation in L'worth, or Battered Sandwich in Index, or even Vector in Squamish. One of my personal favorites. :)

As my girlfriend just pointed out, people's hand size plays a huge role in deciding what qualifies as OW. For her, #1 is hands, #2 is fist, and #3 starts OW...I'm like you, #2-hands, #3-fist, and +3 starts OW.

Your climbs are added to The List.

Blake, enough alpine out of you. No one is going to hike hours to climb a multipitch route just to climb the OW pitch at the top!
