If you are into offwidth don't miss "Manitou" (sustained 5.9+) at Big Chief (yes, there actually are some great trad routes at Big Chief) The top 45', of this 155' tall route, is fun and physical offwidth/squeeze chimney. Surprised this rarely climbed, fine line doesn't get climbed much more often. Bring a long sleeve shirt as parts of the offwidth are very abrasive. Definitely worth bringing a rack out to Big Chief (Primarily a sport crag) to do this classic route.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Karl's Overhang. It's to the left (Southwest) of Short Subject at Donner, uphill from Schoolhouse. I could make it to the jug at the end of the steep but no further. Never heard of any second ascent. Anybody send that thang?

Yup, I climbed it first in around 93. Tom Herbert has done it before he was a Doctor. It’s had at least a handful of ascents. I have photos somewhere. I tried to insight free solo it, chickened out when I reached over the lip and downclimbed.
