pms Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 South Ramp, Midnight Rock is nice. 3rd pitch I think. Maybe the Twin cracks too. Quote
bigwallben Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 the 4th pitch of Narrow Arrow Direct at Index is the best off-width i've climbed in the PNW. too bad it is so short. great pitch. Quote
Blake Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Blue Camalot = not offwidth. I meant the crack looming above John's head. Quote
G-spotter Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 oh... ok.. the next pitch is an offwidth. you can't see it at all in this pic but it really is! Quote

chris Posted April 8, 2007 Author Posted April 8, 2007 There is no OW on Rebel Yell. OW's on Rebel Yell were nice as they seemed just below vertical. Quote
Sol Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 60% of the climbs on that list are not offwidths. Quote
chris Posted April 10, 2007 Author Posted April 10, 2007 Dudes, I don't make the news, I just report it... Quote
MCash Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 60% of the climbs on that list are not offwidths. I don't know about 60%, but there are defintely some squeezes and chimneys in there which aren't OWs. Also, the Northwest Corner of NEWS has ZERO offwidth on it, only liebacking. Quote
Blake Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Add to the list, the last pitch of Burgundy Spire North face. There are at least two o/w options that end at the very top. Quote
chelle Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 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. Quote
chris Posted April 11, 2007 Author Posted April 11, 2007 How is the 2nd pitch on Aries an OW? It takes #2 Camalots and is perfect hands. 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! Quote
