Description Suggest change

Either a dream, or an absolute nightmare, depending on your proclivity towards the wide and wild. The second pitch marathon squeeze is actually a wildly thin flake; at one point you can reach the other side. The flake is about 130' tall and "firmly" attached on the top and bottom... or is it?  Continue up the optional 4th pitch (Exit Wound) and you'll arrive on the rim! 

P1. 5.10+  Climb the first pitch shared with Day Canyon Daydream. Starts with some soft/sandy 5.4 protected by a few bolts. A final bolt protects some tricky climbing into open box. Then it's enjoyable, left facing dihedral with a variable crack. After a layback section around some calcite, mantle into a chimney and take that to the anchor. There is a comfortable belay anchor (no rap rings) above the ledge, but since rapping from there would cause rope grooves, there is a rap anchor off to the left.

P2. 5.12-  The money!!! The first 30' is shared with Day Canyon Daydream. At the end of the chimney, head rightward into the endless offwidth and squeeze. The crack fairly consistently increases in size to 10" then shrinks back down to 6" at the top. None of the moves are particularly hard, it just keeps going. Gear: .4-10" (6-8" x3)

P3. 5.10+  Short but kind of tricky pitch up to the big alcove. Gear: #5-6 (x2) and 2 bolts. 

P4. 5.12 "Exit Wound" This optional pitch is accessible from Offwidth's Greatest Nightmare or Day Canyon Daydream and is listed separately here on Mountain Project, and not factored into the grade of OGN. If you do this stellar pitch, it'll land you on the rim!
