Awesome Offwidthin'

Description

Though this line follows the gradually widening 5" crack left of

Super Suka

, the name is a misnomer. There is really no "offwidthin'" to be had, awesome or otherwise. Most sane individuals will use some combination of stemming, liebacking and face climbing, with only a short section of easy (5.8?) chimneying just below the anchor. As such, this climb is a lot more enjoyable than it looks. The crux comes when the left wall of the dihedral steepens to overhanging, and the liebacking becomes more strenuous. There is a good amount of teetering choss in this corner, so have the belayer stand out of the way, and be aware.

Location

The large dihedral crack left of

Super Suka

, about 30 yards left of

Muscle Beach

.

Protection

I suppose you could lead this with an arsenal of large cams. Another option is to TR this from the anchor of "

Axis of Evil

."
