And for the other side of the spectrum, Grillmair's chimneys and the Calgary route (both on Yamnuska) set the standard for worst grovel.
Unsafe at any speed, forward or reverse. :lol:

I'll add a couple of tunnel-throughs: second last pitch on Cloud Tower at Red Rocks and Skinny Dip at JTree.
If you're looking for a tight squeeze, then The Narrows on Steck Salathe, Midterm, last pitch of lightning bolt crack, second pitch on Jaman of Castleton, and the last half of East Buttress of Higher Cathedral.
Epinephrine probably has the best chimney you can dream of, comfort-wise.
Has anyone done Liquid Sky on North Six Shooters?

Right up there on the list would be the "Mobile Chimneys" route on Thor Peak in California. Picture kitty litter held together with dried egg... So bad I never bothered to report the FA.

This is kind of a plug, but Pathways Through to Space on Lone Pine Peak has a lot of chimneys on it. (It's a variation to Windhorse we put up, and isn't in the current edition of the Secor book). There's a moderate offwidth on pitch 2, pitch 6 and 7 are full on 5.7 ish chimneys, and pitch 8 is a muth&*(! ing hard 5.10 offwidth, pitch 9 is a 5.9 chimney groove......even at the top just before the summit ridge there's a full-on 5.8 chimney.
Wear pants.
