NC: Any Looking Glass Offwidths?

Getting in a couple of days after christmas any good offwidths?
Thanks
PS, anyone have decent topos for Table Rock SC.

Fat Dog has a few offwidth sections, it's on the South Face.

Table Rock SC will be closed December 31st...i also suggest that unless your leading solid 5.10+ and up there isnt much up there for you that is worth the hike.

However, if so then i have some you are welcome to view. just shoot me a pm

oh and as for offwidths. Dum Dee Dum Dum has a short 5.8 offwidth section on P2 but not really, Though P1 5.10 offers a serious fist flare if you try to jam it. The womb 5.11 has a solid offwidth crux. Otherwise i cant think of a true offwidth i've done at the glass. I take it back there is one at hidden wall - it will probably be wet and is around 5.10 called pepper poop tube. Very obvious if you hike the trail from the north face of the glass to climbers left to reach hidden wall. It looked fun, dirty, and gnarly with large gear required.

Enjoy

The top of the 2nd pitch of the Odyssey is an offwidth, but very easy to lieback. You can bail at the end of the 2nd pitch making the climb only 5.9. Rumbling Bald has a few, but none I would consider that classic.

"The Sperm" on the North Face of The Glass is awesome, if you're into masochistic chimneys. The squirmy part leads to a fantastic 2nd pitch, and more pitches if you want them. My wife and I had just come down from climbing it a few years ago, when our friend Eric asked her "How was The Sperm?", to which I replied, "You've been waiting for years to have the opportunity to ask a girl that, haven't you?"

Definitely get on The Sperm and The Womb. Neither are really off-width but they are both very grovelly in sections. They are both classic as well, especially The Womb.

Dum Dee Dum Dum or whatever that climb is called has some OW/wide fists on it but most people do a weird elevator doors move instead. It's hard either way.

Of course the North Side will probably be wet and cold...

Good suggestions here. There are also a few OW pitches high on the north face, but they'll be wet for sure.

I can think of some pretty good OW and squeeze chimneys in random places around chimney rock and linville gorge as well, but that's not what you're looking for...

Table rock is cool. Probably the easiest (10+) "full length" route there has some OW liebacking on the first pitch, but otherwise the cliff is almost exclusively face climbing, short of the corner on stonewall action (which I haven't done). Have fun if you go.

The Womb pinches off from squeeze to a fingers layback, no real odub there. It is really cool anyhow. Legit OW is kind of hard to come by in the Southeast for some reason.

There is a pretty long OW in West Virginia called Screamer Crack. But I can do it, so it must not be that hard...

Check Hypocrite's Corner at Laurel Knob.
Wide up high.
Also many variations above P2 that yield different crack options.

Do not waste your time on offwidths if you have not done Cornflake Crack.

Pepper Pot Tub on LG's Hidden Wall is grunter. I'll shoot you the TR topos later this week--please excuse my delay.

I was just up at the North Side aid soloing. Unless you're aiding or climbing The Seal, I wouldn't bother with the North Side.

Was at the North Side on Scott Fisher Mem yesterday (Thurs 10/29)

Cold. Like, toe warmer and handwarmer thank god i'm aiding and not freeclimbing cold.

Icefall/melting ice rain was continuous throughout the day.

How is Scott Fisher Memorial? I was over at Airwaves on Tuesday (I think). I've always wanted to do SFMR, though.
