Ascents of Huevada

Sandbagged by the guidebook. 'Easy roof' they said....I should have trusted my judgement that told me that a six inch wide, bottomless crack is never going to be easy. I don't think even an offwidth master would call this 18. I aided my way past it using a #6 cam. Andrew managed to layback it on second after pulling on the gear to get up to the chockstone. The solution is no doubt some desperate transition from offwidth thrashing to scary laybacking up the edge of the crack.

Need to improve my offwidth skills Great up to there. Bring some bigger gear for the top unless you are comfortable soloing offwidths.
