I'm looking to get on a splitter #4 #5 offwidth in the Bugaboos this summer. I've been on some Creek 5.11 OW, but am out of practice. Any good training OW anyone can think of in the 5.10-5.11 grade? Looking for stuff that is a straight in crack, preferably granite. Crack of Fear comes to mind but looks more like a flaring chimney... but I could of course be wrong.

Hot Licks up at Lumpy is a good long pitch of OW. Huston crack on Cob Rock is a much easier OW, but it is nice and close. Grand Giraffe in Eldo had a nice pitch of offwidth on it, #5 and #6.

Veduawoo is only 90 minutes from Denver and that is off-width central. Every angle, every grade, every size. Don't waste your time on Grand Giraffe; it's in Eldo and there are edges all over you can use to avoid the business. BTW, Grand Giraffe is a great route. It's just not a great off-width. The Crack of Fear on the Twin Owls on Lumpy Ridge is worth a lap. Good luck, Mal

Awesome OW list there. Already have been on Grand Giraffe, and yeah, it's only sorta off-widthy. Looks like a weekend or two in the Voo is in order.

The Maelstrom is your gym! Edit/Addition: The Bishop OW (AKA Lightning Bolt Crack) also fits your criteria and is good. Between the two on Sunshine Face are two more; Squish, and Squash. Also a couple at Turkey Rocks that are a little easier.
