Looking up while TRing a...

Looking up while TRing a pretty heinous 5.9ish offwidth at The Bend on 1-22-06. This thing was pretty dang physical. I tore the skin off both elbows through 2 layers of clothing, plus removed the skin on the insides of both of my ankles "enjoying" this sucka. A pretty good crack to practice Levitation technique on as it is absolute bomber locker knees (froggy foot) width through the money section.

Re: Looks kinda "fun"...

Heh heh. Yeah, offwidths are always cool when you reach the anchors, after the cursing is done :-). This is one of the best offwidths I've climbed. I'd like to lead it next time. Physical, but doable. Fairly long too. For protection you will need stuff in the 4 to 6 friend size (3.5 to #5 camalot (old school sizes)). How much depends on how much placing versing walking you do.



Thanks, it was a fun outing. It's pretty hard to go wrong at the bend, almost every route is really friggen good.
