I noticed the route description said larger folk may not fit through the pitch 4 squeeze chimney. Anybody have experience with this? I'm about a 38 waist and 240.
Thanks,
Ross

Seriously though. You are probably too big. I had to take everything off my harness to make it through. I have a 30 in waist.

If u r 240 and under 6 feet tall u r not going to fit
I'm 5 9 and like 160 with a 32 waist and had no problems but I had cams clipped to my Belay loop and other stuff on a back pack that I pushed above me. I think I read somewhere that 42 inches is the size of the whole so check your Chest size not your waist.

Thanks Larry that's what I was worried about have had to bail on routes for this reason before.

The off width looks sick though

I concur with Larry, Ross, I doubt you would fit. The off width is spectacular climbing, but short. You are not missing the best tower route by any stretch. Primrose is much better in my opinion.
