Anything on the knobby wall is overhanging. There's even that flake thing that goes at .9+...Or, you could head to Sonora and go to Jailhouse. That overhangs a lot.

I hear there's stuff at the trinity aretes that overhangs quite a bit.

Rock Creek, Gong Show 11c has a good roof on it. Easy to get to the top and rap.

nobody has done the overhangs at the Arches, you gotta be jokin?

if so, talk about an FA waitin to happen.
could be the next big thang.
then somebody will free climb it.
then speed solo.

i want one of those baboons for the Arch Overhang FA.

think what a baboon could do with a Bosch cordless!
and he gets all the forum heat.


hey look, the have a special baboon, just for drilling:

I've been told that there is a long 11+ horizontal hand roof on High Life on Higher Spire, but it isn't free hanging. It's got a wall to the side.

I've never done Wet Denim Daydream, but the topo suggest that the final pitch roof offers five star exposure. Maybe relatively easy to rap to for a photo shoot too since it's on the last pitch?

Karl's Overhang was a total blast to climb!

The Cave Wall at Big Chief? You've got Totally Chawsome which has kinda wicked roof


How about Surf Safari out at Mickey's Beach?

The right half of the SW face of El Cap has a line of huge roofs ~11/13ths of the way to the summit. The Salathe goes through there, as does Bermuda Dunes. Between Cosmos and Excalibur, on the same high horizontal line, so obvious from even the road, is a virgin spot that looks very ripe for picking by some Xtreme Free sort of people.

there's always the eldorado roof @ ORG, if clip-ups are an option

and column of the giants is steep too





...and there is also cave rock, but you'd better hurry







seems like 'under the big top' at the leap might also look pretty steep from the right angle, even though it mostly traverses underneath.
