I'm not good at ow, but I'm determined to embrace the wide. Gotta pay some dues. Any recommendations on where to begin at the creek, climbs #5&6 camalot, wide?

Unnamed 5.10 two routes to the left of Wavy Gravy is good.

Second "way nutter" on way rambo wall. Lots of nice ledges to help pull yourself up

In addition to Way Nutter, there is a 5.10 OW at Way Rambo that is pretty good, and not too difficult. I don't remember the name (it may not be int he guidebook) but it is a little to the R of Layaway Plan. So, that would be a good wall to go to to do some OWing.

I think that 5.10 OW is called desire. there's a plaque on the ground. Get ready to loose some blood

Bromance at Selfish is easy. Maybe too easy for your needs.

+1 for P1 of Amaretto. Three Pigs in a Slot (right of Gorilla at SCB)is only ~50ft to first (only?) anchor and has some good 5.10ish offwidth in there.

First, Way Nutter at Way Rambo Wall, then jump on Serrator. You can learn how to stack and kneelock and send a classic all at once.

sparkling schloob at sparks wall 9+ and goes to the rim in a single pitch and covers all the sizes.

Ammeretto for sure. Desire at way rambo is good if you like 5's

I agree that the 1st pitch of Ammeretto is a good intro.
Also the unnamed at Blue Gramma (5.10+) next to Unnammed 5.9. or the group of three climbs left of that.
Isn't it an oxymoron? easy and off-width? If its that easy then you can side pull or use the good foot features. Then you aren't truly getting the off-width adventure or stacking or levitating. You are not grinding the skin off your ankles and elbows.
The Incisor at Broken tooth was suggested. That thing is a beast (see photo) it is #4's out a roof. No way beginner. I just about shit myself on this climb when I was a beginner.
Try the shorty's at Blue Gramma
Good luck with your quest.

Incisor, Broken Tooth
