British Offwidthers Isn't that an oxymoron?
Just kidding. I hope they post up with their adventures, pics are not optional.

KLK, that's just what I was noticing. Love it. Bagged a giant version of the group shot w/mattress and jeans even. Got to wish the boys well, of course!
Wait, J-Do, let ME put in a word here edgewise so you won't seem so anxious posting three times in rapid succession and all by yourself.
Great to see the Brit crew over here. Should be awfully interesting to see what they come up with in The Valley, though. So many of our big offwidths are packed with length and access challenges.

The Valley may not be in the program. One of them has been there over 10
times already. They're at Vedauwoo now.

Is The Kid's roof/OW on their circuit?
Man, traveling to do OW, more proof that folks can be more insane than a cat on catnip.
