I was thinking this morning, I have too much skin attached to my body.  I should get into offwidth climbing to remedy this problem.  

Seriously, I took Shingo's course at the SL Climbing Festival and had a great time climbing offwidths.  I wanted to reach out and see if any offwidth masters would be willing to school me on the dark arts.  Will buy beer in exchange for knowledge.

I live in Millcreek, so convenient to the canyons and not far from everything else.

Thanks,

Gabe

There are a few pretty good ow boulders in lcc that'd be great for honing in on some wide technique.

Gabe,

          Here's that list of LCC OW boulders we'd mentioned; there are no fixed anchors to take advantage of, so maybe a length of rigging rope will allow you to tie-off/equalize adjacent trees or whatever.  Danny, and his lovely wife, Ashley, are the local wide fetishists, OW virtuosos.  I hope this helps!  Also, stay in touch for an upcoming Certain Death (LCC, Upper Waterfront) reunion!  Cheers, S

Thanks for sharing that list of OW boulders. It makes me want to go work some of them because I suck at OW.

Appreciate the help.  I will try out the LCC OW boulders.

Don't you know that OW stands for Other Way??? 

Well good luck on your OH DUB skills.  

The way I figure it you will get super strong, and be safe from all the shooting in LCC as the snipers won't be able to see you.

Unless you turn the lip on Trench Warfare that is.
