Yosemite Offwidth #4 & #5 cracks

I’m looking for recommendations or a list of some offwidth cracks in Yosemite from 5.9 and up that have lots of #4 and #5 camalot sized jams. No luck searching the forums yet. I can find offwidth lists but offwidth is a wide category. 

Generator crack?  A couple others in tuolumne from what I remember also

Trial by fire 

Reeds

Generator

And read the supertopo thread “road to twilight zone”

Only one I've been on is Trial by Fire (thought I was gonna pass out). The Meyers and Reid book indexes the climbs by crack width. In the 3.5" - 8" category:

You are looking for Mental Block 10c, in the Sentinel Creek area.  It’s really good.  Enjoy

Trial by fire is more of a chinmey flare heel toe scum fest

Apron jam can be an ow(stacks)or a lie back + you can climb mr natural after!

Doggie do(easy to set tr). chigando is a good one

Generator and twilight zone 

Space invaders and bad ass mamma near the royal arches area.

Cream.

Steppin' out is mostly 5s with some cruxy thinner sections.

 The second pitch of yin yang is 4s and 5s until it opens up into a chimney for the last half of the pitch. 

Midterm has a short section as it goes from fists to chimney. 

Copper penny is steep 4s and 5s except for the fact that you can cheat it with a jug rail, so not a whole lot of stacking if you don't want to. 

Definitely chingando as others have said.

A great practice ow in Tuolumne is Enemy Within at Olmsted Canyon.

Moby Dick is a highway of #4's. You should also top rope Ahab while you are there.

Top of moby dick is great for 4!

So is a lot of reeds pitch 2

And the last pitch of sons has a fun 5.8 fists bit 

Mental block literally has a full pitch of just 5. Cannot recommend enough

Top of Moby dick is 3.5"....it takes 4" cams....buts its fist for most.

good point, I always conflate 4" with placing #4s.

From Clint's Website (It's no longer hosted so you have to use the waybackmachine to grab the info - the same document will have listing of the climbs in yosemite by all other types such as hands, squeeze, fingers, etc)

WTF is Excalibur and why is it making me want to go hide in a closet

El Cap brajie. Those pitches were freed by Steve Schneider in his prime. One of the very few who has nailed legit A5 and climbed 5.14....just another Valley Legend.

M Awrote:

Trial by Fire is perhaps the easiest-looking hard climb I've ever done. It looks like a 4th class trough. Boy it is not. 

FACT

Thanks for all the info. This list is looking awesome, keep adding if you think of anything else that shouldn’t be missed. Hopefully I can get into the Valley this weekend and get intimate with some of these.

Rostrum, N Face, pitch 6: one #5 C4 gets it done, and the approach is pretty cool. The topout’s not bad either. Do it soon!
