Off-width on Backbone Ridge

Senor Skyclimb (where the hell you at bro?) on the OW:

Nice photo of the OW pitch. It shows how a butt scum/chimney/stem helps ease the difficulty.

 

I remember doing a similar move on the crux corner fist crack on the Braille Book in Yosemite. That one, at 5.8, was greasy and felt harder than this one on Backbone. Then again, I led the former and followed the latter.

 

So much for your pure onsight!

Hard to tell where it tops out, but that photo doesn't make it look very long, really . . . . that's encouraging!!!
