Mr. Sneezy , great route all the way around....3 pitches, just one short OW but it is a challenge at the grade (5.10). I have never found much off width there, not like what I am use to in the desert. Top of Penny's Lane, but it is not that challenging. These are both at Castle.

Its on No Start Wall across from the Lost Arrow. Squeeze Box is the left side.

Private Idaho is kinda OW. Barf Crack. Not done it, but Tiether's Jam purported to have some wide.

Water Groove on King on the Throne. Strawberry Jam on Elephant Rock is kinda wide.

Smucker's Jam at Lower Creekside.

Body Snatcher on Anteater.

Pigeon Crack on Odyssey (left of Halfmoon).

Rabbit Rock has "Crack/Offwidth".

I love OW and work at the city. There are just too many features for real ow especially at those grades. I don't think humbles tumble counts as it protects with #1 and 2 camalots but it is a good technique builder. Barf crack is similar to humbles tumble not legit ow but fun.

The west side crack on finger rock is pretty good for 10a might even take two #6s, mr sneezy in castles is good as well.

I hear vedauwoo is in season.

Bobcat Crack is toward the harder end of .10, but should not be missed.

Look to the north from the breadloaves water pump parking area. I'm not sure what it's called but there is a stunning wide crack over there.

I've looked at that one before Norm. Looks great!
