Description No lines at the base of this route. As the name implies, this is an offwidth. It is located right of Potstash, an obvious 5.9 sport pitch on a roadcut, and left of Big Sky Mud Flaps. There are a wide variety of interesting moves required on this route, but the crux boils down to good old fashion off width grunting.
At any rate, adequate protection can be had with a #5 camalot (or 2) and a rack of standard gear. If you have something bigger, bring it as the #5 camalot will tip out and fall out at the most desperate places.
I'd recommend left side in on the bottom section. I stymied myself at the crux by going right side in, and now I'm of the opinion it would be better to go left side in on the upper section. Fortunately there's a drilled angle at the crux if you get discombobulated.
Protection Standard rack, plus whatever wide gear you can find.

The FA party finished the route just in time to drive down to Montecello to appear in front of the Federal Magistrate to beat a bogus NPS ticket for illegal parking out at Monster Tower.
A good day was had all around! Three stars if you like offwidths.... |

| Hell yeah! We found cobwebs in the eye of the drilled angle. "That's how you know it's a good route," quote Adam Steel. |

| I gave this a go yesterday. I made it out of the pod before having to hang. Great offwidth, and the pin seems good. There were cobwebs along parts of the climb. |
