I climbed a OW up at the Tunnel Crag about a month ago. It's pretty overhung with a dogleg in the middle. It wants to spit you out from the second you get into it.

It's located up the hill behind Vista Mountain.

If you're into bouldering then Mt. Woodson should suit you very well.

Does anyone have beta for crack sizes one would encounter on paisano overhang?

A couple of my buds and I are looking to build replica horizontal roof cracks.

I have read many mentions of "flaring" and "4-6 inches" but looking for more specifics from someone who has been on it.

Thanks!

That looks nice- what's the history on that rig? Did you check it out pre-anchor?

I'll do m'best, it's real dangerous over at South Woodsen.  If the local tough guys don't getcha, the coronavirus will - saw about 10 cars clumped up at the Laverne trailhead a few days back.  Lol!
