Tahoe 6" offwidths
|
Anyone know where to find a good 5.9/5.10 OW around Tahoe that's 6 inches? I've been running laps on a few good 5" ones but looking for something a bit wider to force new technique. |
|
How wide is the Crystal Bay boulder crack? |

The Leap has a couple I think. Under the Big Top, Eeyore’s Enigma, Fat Merchant Crack at Sugarloaf. Up at Eagle Lake cliff is The Vulture and Buster Brown. |

Eeyore's Enigma in my opinion is the best OW 5.10 at the Leap. It will be different than most anything you have done. Best done as a continuation/link up of Tombstone Terror (5.10c). |

BUMP for the Old Peculiar area!!! worth the stomp out there! all those route's are amazing! |

Definitely check out self abuse at sugarloaf and Rick & Eric’s at snowshed. |
|
Self Abuse is no 5.10+. In Yosemite it might be rated 5.9. More of a squeeze than an OW. Rick and Eric’s only has a smidge of wide. JO’s at Rainbow is fairly legit OW, 4”-6”. Dead vertical and without too much extraneous stuff to detract from the “fun”. Dow’s rec of Tombstone to Eeyore’s makes not much sense outside of not-so-subtle spray. |

I have no bouldering pad but I might have to get one for next year. With the weather forecast being somewhat questionable I figure Woodfords has better chance of no rain/snow than the Leap this weekend |
