Looking for some shady off widths in the creek to try next week over spring break. The only one I can think of is brother from another planet. Anyone have any recommendations in the 11 to 12- range?

Sorry, but the Brother faces south and is sunny till late afternoon. See below for a hit list. The sun/shade changes, so I've included the approximate aspect so you can judge for yourself.

Have a Cow/Sacred Cow (.11), W
Carnivore (requires approach pitch)/Second Meat Wall (.12-), W
Cupid¡¦s Love Lesson/Disappointment Cliffs (.11-), S
Brother from Another Planet/Fin (.12-), S
Incisor (Pussy Wuss Crack)/Broken Tooth (.10+), SW
Root Canal/Broken Tooth (.11), S
Raw Deal (Dentist¡¦s Chair)/Broken Tooth (.11), E on S wall (in alcove?)
Tooth Fairy/Broken Tooth (.11-), W on S wall (in alcove?)
Sumo/Reservoir (.10), N
Big Guy/Scarface (.11-), S
Big Baby/Battle of Bulge (.11), S on W wall
Binge and Purge/Supercrack (.10+), W
Serrator/Way Rambo (.11-), W on N wall

Also see:
Sorcerer climbs/River Road (.11&.12-), N facing

Have Fun!

I think there are 1 or 2 at 4x4. The only one I see on MP (didn't look at every route) is Monster Truck. Check the book though. I seem to recall more than that.

So far most of those listed are on sunny walls. If you want shade for most of the day, cliffs of insanity has several great off widths including the ultra classic Lobotomy.
Sabatical/Pregnant Women wall also is shady most of the day and has several good ones including Decreation.

Stout fits the bill. It's way around to the right on the Optimator wall, I think they call it the beer wall over there. Shady all day long, good route too.

Also, the Dentist's Chair is not to be missed. High quality groveling in a mostly shady alcove.

he would probably just lay this thing back the whole way :)

sabbatical/pregnant wall has some good shady ones. same with insanity. most of the ones mentioned are pretty sunny, although you might get some shade time either early or late.
