We're overdue for another Wide-fest. My rugby shirt longs for companionship.

We'll take you out to the Gristle Riley, that's about as pure as OW gets. Kamakazi and modern warfare flesh out the experience.

The Hobbit Hole OW is always good if you are wandering the Outback.

low-hanging fruit that's easy, comparatively classic, and easier to get partners for would include orphan and championship wrestling. smaller folks can get some action on fisticuffs, and it's close to other destination routes.
cw is esp. good 'cuz you could talk folks into going there to do the other, un-wide routes, then set-up and get a quick training session. face different directions, practice some stacks, etc.
i've not done a difficult ow at jtree that i would want to repeat.
comfortably numb was fairly unpleasant.
that short finger-chimney roof out off geology tour was an ordeal to engineer, but had cool moves. i guess with sketch pads and posses, folks might just hi-ball it now. i had to go out there twice before i felt comfortable risking that fall. can't recall the name.
never hoofed out to throbbing gristle.

I always liked the Hobbit Hole o/w too. Good thrutching without the commitment.
A couple more:
Filch (5.6), nice, easy and conveniently located at Trashcan Rock.
Baskerville Left (.10a)

That sounds right.
Better than usual rock for jtree, not the typical grind-that-crystal-into-yr-quadriceps-before-it-explodes sh#t.
hey 'tusi, did you ever see that other bouldering roof out there, way past castaway? too low to tr, but talus sharks under the back, with pads now it'd probably be fine. really good stone, ultra-burly moves. went there twice and never got it. i'd forgotten about that thing until just now.

Here are a few:
Plummer's Crack - near Matrix Cove A short, cool wide thing that Kevin Daniels showed me & Murf a few years ago.
Flyaway - above the Bond Boulders. A widening gem that goes from hands to wide quickly. Hard for the 5.10+ rating.
Innervisions - another vote for this classic squeeze
Comfortably Numb - very cool if you can do it & even if you cannot, it's still mega good
Centurion - I have never tried this but it looks good.

Did Championship Wrestling last weekend. Much easier than I remebered. Go in right and there's good right feet to help propel you up. Almost easier than Where Janitor's Dare, as it was so straight forward.
The Good, the bad and the ugly on the Wart is up next. Shudder. I remember watching Scuffy and co. on that and it was heinous.

Ohhhhhhh Jay, no yet yes (good/bad). Steve mentioned the climb and I didn't recall the title then he showed me a pic of the climb on the Wart and I think I literallly recoiled. I knew right away of the climb (which most of us at Widefest except you burly ones wanted a part of). It's nasty. Crack to roof to traverse to leaning OW. Oh Hell no....yet yes, it'll go soon. With work. God I hate myself.
And we went out to the Inquisition. That's another on the list now. Good God. OW's I can deal with but now inversions. Ugh. Oh well, at least I can be his spotter/move the pad over the years to come. V6 inversion...got some time to work it out. May have to deal with those opening moves myself to get the inversion to straight-on. But then if you make it that far, the separate offwidth crack to the top. Insanity but one hell of a workout.
Makes me long for the straightfoward hardness that is Trobbing Gristle.
