Over here in the UK we have Ray's Roof at The Baldstones. Done by visiting cam hero Ray Jardine, he graded it at .12c. Approx 30 years later it has only had about 3 repeats and is graded E67a in some guidebooks, which could put it around .13c/d. I had a go about 10 years ago and got spat out only about quarter way out. :roll:

Offwidths are more body size dependent than any other crack. As such, the grades are ALL OVER THE PLACE. 11c seems to be the standard at which point the grades go weird. The next place to stop is 12b or 12c. That is where you see them. And that's as accurate as you can hope to be.

Isn't there an unrepeated offwidth on Granite Mountain in Prescott?
