#Off Width Climbing

The “Big Bro” climbing gear was invented by Craig Luebben, who was an American rock climber. He designed this piece of protection specifically for wide cracks while studying Mechanical Engineering at Colorado State University. Thank you @shanti.pack for showing us proper placement of the new #5 Trango Big Bro @trangoclimbing #climbnowfl #rockclimbing #climbing #offwidthclimbing #chimneyclimbing #splitters #firstascentclimbing

It was cold today, but side winding and Big Bros will warm you up🤘🏼 📸 @oliver_augustt #climbnowfl #climbing #rockclimbing #tradisrad #trangobigbro #offwidthclimbing #creekfreaks

Looking for wide climbing? This one’s got offwidth, runout chimney, and a top out on a mini tower! I named this aesthetic zigzag “Lighting Lizard” because of the way I slithered through the lightning bolt shaped crack on the first ascent. Can’t wait to place that 7 cam this season!

Moments like this are why I climb… I feel most alive when I am in a beautiful place with great friends and get to push my body to its physical limit and my mind to its peak of concentration. When I can find flow and rise to my potential during these times, it creates my truest form of fulfillment. If it’s been a while since you felt true fulfillment in your climbing; you might need to reconsider your approach. Everyone deserves to feel this way, often! When do YOU feel most fulfilled in our sport? Climb: “Zeus” V11/8A (perhaps my proudest flashes) Capetown, South Africa Africa, i’ll see you in exactly 3 months today :) Training is in full swing 😆 @physivantage @cruxpowerclimbing @pitch.six @organicclimbing @fazabrushes @hardwoodholds @climbbutora #climbing #bouldering #sportclimbing #climbingtraining #strongertogether

Slow progress in a squeeze chimney. ‘You can’t fall if you’re IN the mountain’ logic 😂. . . . . . . #offwidth #climbing #climbinglife #climbon #escalade #liveclimbrepeat #tradisrad #tradclimbing #rockclimbing #chad #ennedi

I’m willing to bet that no one has ever made this pitch look more effortless. While shooting some friends on Westie Face this past fall, I met Daisuke and John as they were preparing for a push on Wet Lycra Nightmare. They were both psyched, but clearly pretty new to wall climbing and valley climbing in general. Prior to the push they had put several weeks of work into the route and Daisuke had sent all but pitch 6 and 7. Both of which are pumpy and technical 13a’s on the upper half of the route. The day I met Daisuke, I watched him lap the crux roof of the route 3 times in a row so that I could shoot photos of it. He barely looked tired at all. Having bouldered v16, a quick v9 was pretty casual for him. Their send push on the route was a bit rushed as Daisuke had only a few days left before heading home to Japan. Unfortunately, Daisuke wasn’t able to make it happen, falling heartbreakingly close to the chains on pitch 6 several times in a row after pumping out. It was an awesome effort and it was pretty cool to imagine what might be possible if more people as strong as Daisuke learned how to climb big walls. #leaningtower #bigwallclimbing #yosemiteclimbing #ledgerats

Zeus | V11/8A ⚡️ Flashing the most scenic dyno of my life in front of 15+ of my friends on my last climbing day in Africa was… pretty damn powerful. Can’t believe I lead the charge on a 10-Man Send Train on Cape Towns most famous Yeet! Another wonderful day out in a magical place with incredible people. @climbbutora @physivantage @cruxpowerclimbing @pitch.six @headtotoe3d @organicclimbing @fazabrushes @zealnaturals #climbing #bouldering #sportclimbing #climbingtraining #strongertogether

I am NOT an offwidth climber! What I should have said is… I’m not a GOOD offwidth climber 😂 The last proper offwidth I’ve climbed since doing this N7+ offwidth was “The Monster” on El Cap circa 2016? Or maybe I’ve done some more since then… not many or nearly as hard? Offwidth is a really specific skill and I have the basics down for getting up what I need to most of the time. If I ever want to climb proper hard offwidth I’ll probably have to call up my old buddies @petewhittaker01 and @tompaulrandall at the @wide_boyz 📹: @ryan_balharry #tradclimbing #crackclimbing #climbing_is_my_passion #climbinglife
