Description:
I say 11a because I can't seem to get a straight answer out of anyone as to the actual grade of this climb. Anyway, wide crack right of Baalbek. Go up until such time as you can come down without leaving gear. Sandbag much?

Holy wow
This monster chewed me up and spit me out. Hung a bunch of times to work out the crux, and then several times in the remaining climbing, just because I was so worked. Then climbed it again on TR and still hung once briefly at the crux. Great climb but man - you better have your shit together. I've been around the offwidth block a few times already, and I still learned a ton about offwidth from just this one climb.

Ascent Note
I used to love thrutching at this size. Hard squeeze through the beginning slot, then great 5.10+ hands. If you are used to this style of climbing, the grade is right on
