Offwidths - Any recommendations?
|
Lead Dolphin in JTree two weekends ago. Id like to try some other off widths because that sort of climbing is exhausting and in some weird way, fun. I saw a slideshow at a SCMA meeting last year about Big Bear and one route was an offwidth. Anyone know the name and location of this climb? |

It's hard to beat the Generator Crack for convenient roadside odub. Harder than the Dolphin but is generally TR'ed so have at it. |
|
Lots of good wide info here, including routes: widefetish.com/ |
|
Thanks for the route recommendations. |

Been searching through big bear / holcomb valley and cannot find any OW. I know there is at least one. Would love to find the route before heading out there within the month. |

A bit left of Target Practice on Camp Rock is Moonlight Madness (5.8). |

Holcomb Valley: wasn't able to fund much either but check the current guide book. Researched and did a hand full of them over the summer. I'd say there were about 10-15 in the area. Check out mushroom boulder in the book. Of the climbs I did up there the grades seemed to be really soft so keep it in mind when picking routes. 5.10 felt closer to a 5.7 in the valley or josh and if I may say so not worth doing may want to look closer at josh tahquitz or Woodson instead. Here's a link to one route in the database. This route is the exception to what I said earlier. |

The top of Orphan (5.9) on the Old Woman is always good for a thrutch. |
