The off width is interesting and I found it was pretty fun, doesn't look like this route gets much action. Oct 28, 2008

Awesome off-width, definitely challenging no matter your height or body type. Beta: first move off the ground - bomber holds to super secure high knee bar (first clip); between second and third bolt, chicken wing all the way (start facing left, shoulder jam to switch facing right). Spectacular once you work out the sequence that works for you. Feb 10, 2016
