What are some of your favorites? And, if you have pictures, I would love to see them.
Cheers, Et

Few and far between.
Jaybro says Tither's Jam is worthwhile.
There's a very short one on King on the Throne, OK
There are probably more unclimbed ones than climbed ones.

Thanks for all of the responses. That Water Groove shot was actually the motive for posting the thread.

I've got on that boulder scuffy! That thing is cool.
Glad the watergroove pic got people psyched up...
Interceptor has a wide bit going to the top:
There is also a route just around the corner from Interceptor that is wide for most of it, but has a thin bit at the bottom. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Can't remember the name....

It had a fixed pin for many years which is now gone. The crux is
the thin stuff. May be scary without the pin.

The top of Interceptor gets a little wide, but it's possible to
reach way back in there and get jams for those with no OW chops.
Must expend some extra calories and perhaps fluids that way,
though.
In that thread that was linked to, somebody recommended Humble's
Tumble. I also would wholeheartedly recommend that climb, but
it doesn't resemble off-width at all.

Seems like there were some awesome offwidths on Morning Glory Spire and Breadloaves area. I think this is from Lower Breadloaves.

Mugley, Nice photo. But I don't believe it's of the Breadloaves area at City of Rocks. The character of the rock at the Breadloaves is different, than that in your photo.
The rock (in photo) looks similar to Vedauwoo. (????)

Good eye, Jennie. Doesn't look like anything at the Breadloaves. Or at the City in general.

As I recall, Animal Cracker had a short "everyman's (everyperson's!)" off-width section at the crux and was still pretty fun. If at all possible, I tend to avoid off-widths.

I took these photos of Donini on Owl Roof on Owl Rock in 2010. Donini thought it a "little-sandbagged" as a 5.10c, but had no difficulty. Crazy Tom, who is a quite competent 5.10 climber struggled, to say the least.
Bingham's new guidebook now calls it 5.10c/d.
In this photo, Tom's chalk bag shows how overhanging the problem is.

Although, I enjoy taking some butt shots more than others.

Naitch! I've climbed for several days in August at COR 4 times since 2010. It's not as hot or crowded as in July, but can still easily be in the high 80's. It does usually, cool down nicely in the evenings.
There's also been some great thunderstorms there in August. In 2011 we watched a huge thunderstorm that seemed to surround us, move slowly in on us in the night. We witnessed dozens of great strikes on the mountains around COR & it finally rolled over us. Happily, it rained enough to put out any fires the lightning may have started.
Dinner Sunset before the lightning started.
