Description 

If you think you might like to struggle up off-widths, this is a good place to start. Duchess Right (aka "Crack Kills" among my friends and I) features 10-20 feet (depending on how early you exit onto the face to the right) of classic 5.7 off-width. As a bonus, it's easily TR'd. Bust out that #6 Friend and go for it.


Protection 

Wide stuff. Long slings for belay. A well-placed anchor will allow you to TR this, Duchess, and Duchess Left.

Beauty route. I used small aliens near the bottom crux, and a little heel-toe action to climb through this section. If you want a fun challenge at the grade, give it a go.

5.7? Getting slippery!
