Any of you off-width weasels get on this thing? Looks fun.

That is the sickest thing I've ever seen. One day in Moab, I saw crack house. "Cool!" I said, and was inspired to climb it one day. I wandered up to that thing in LLC on another outing, and I was silent and afraid to even touch it.

Watched that video, cool stuff. It 's easier if you always keep your toes pointing, more or less, north.

This thing is basically my dream route, top of my most wanted list. Hope to finally get on it this year. Gotta start a wicked inverted sit-up regimen.
Jaybro, what do you mean by keeping your toes pointed "north"? Like straight up vs to one side or the other, or literally north?
Also interesting to see you did the whole rig with your left side leading, seems like all the pics/video etc I've seen have people doing the first half left leading, then leaving the pod right side leading.

Left foot leading IS a better way to describe it. (in which case, cause it's still narrow heel toe, your toes point north, kinda.) I would think the second half would be harder facing the other way, instead of just a foot slide that made it trivial until the lip..

One of the cruxes of this climb is placing enough pro. Place too little and you face a TBI- best case scenario. It's not like you're landing on your feet!
I'm pretty sure I've never placed that many peices in that short a distance on any other free climb.
(thanks, couch)

Bump for the WIDE!!!!
how far off the ground is that thing?!? looks like ground fall could be a real issue? more at the end than at the start?
looks awesome though!!!!
cheers,

"One day in Moab, I saw crack house. "Cool!" I said, and was inspired to climb it one day. I wandered up to that thing in LLC on another outing, and I was silent and afraid to even touch it."
Those few sentences are so evocative--paints a beautiful picture of a feeling we've all had at one time or another, a mixture of fear, respect, desire, and the awful/aweful thought of actually climbing it.
