Lucille 

I thought the FA on this line was Craig Leubben and he even got written up in one of the mags for it. Or maybe it was just the 2nd ascent. Either way, this is a very impressive looking route that I never want to climb.

supposedly scarpelli and luebben let jay anderson work it until he completed it (over a span of nearly 10 years). i don't know if scarpelli has done it yet (i imagine he has), but luebben did it just after jay anderson did. if i remember correctly luebben onsighted it.

Took a thorough look at this thing yesterday (my partner made it to the very edge of the roof where one starts going up again, all on TR). I don't have the words to describe it. Incredible. BTW, unless you can lead it, you need a 60m rope to toprope this thing, the rope hits the ground about 10 feet out from the base of Best of the Blues (10b). You can't start from the base of the climb proper.

Just to set some things straight. Craig Luebben was the first person to on-sight Lucille and he got the second ascent 7 years after Jay got the first ascent. This climb is a lot easier for skinny folks with skinny arms. It is just plain hard to get the necessary chicken wings in this thing if you have big guns. There are a few other offwidths at Vedauwoo that have not recieved the hype of Lucille that are probably much harder, but who am I to say. Go find out for yourself. Btw. The single most difficult move is probably getting through the roof on Best of the Blues. Don't be intimidated, this is a fantastic climb.

I belayed my wife Pamela on Lucille today and she onsighted with style!

Congrats to Pamela! Probably the first female ascent, eh? I had a hard enough time with the 5.10 OW crack to the left of Lucille/BB, somebody should add this to the database.

Thanks George! Lucille is truly a spectacular route! I almost changed my mind about getting on Lucille after Best of Blues :) ~P

That is Bad Ass!!! Way to go on the send Pamela.

Yesterday my friend and offwidth mentor Steve Su onsighted this route after warming up with his first ascent of Squat. I've definitely seen him struggle a lot harder, meaning he did it elegantly and patiently. Getting into the crack is a virtual re-entrance into the womb. A must do!
