The key to offwidth is to make the Most of available rests. It may take longer but generally works out better, as long as the belayers is not likewise resting at the wrong times.

maybe we can take some swabs, do a DNA analysis on them and determine who has left DNA in Cream...
...ok STForum, who's going to give us samples?

I would assume I've left a little DNA on every hard OW I've done, including TZ.

The Rock Police will be taking DNA samples at the top, bottom and middle, to verify all ascent claims. For accurate results, they recommend that all OW's be climbed in shorts.

One of the things rarely mentioned about the Zone is the top out, which used to be via a big loose hummock with deep rope burns grooved into the thing. I must have done that last pitch a dozen times and always wondered when the hummock was gonna blow.

Right Marty, you had to protect it and we all know how hard that is on a double overhanging lieback. You did great.

On the first on-sight lead of Death Crack, Dale Bard liebacked a short section. After placing a #7 or #8 hex at the base of the main difficulties, he jammed up the crack and placed another hex or two. When he got just above where Werner is in the photo, Dale reached up to that edge of the flake and started liebacking for a move or two and then pulled right back into the crack. What was remarkable was that he looked so casual while grabbing a lieback hold, calmly putting his foot out on the face above his head, doing a move or so and pulling up into the off-width. He made it look like it was the natural way to do it. This was probably the third lead of the climb. It was about 7 days after the first ascent.
