I heard it was a 10 foot tight hands roof with x rated pro. Is the offwidth after that?

Well get on it. I want to get the onsight when I get there.
Ps. Make sure the RP slots are really solid. I want it to look R rated for the sponsors, but don't go overboard.

I think you are talking about Sylvia. She waitresses at the New Paltz Diner in between, um, gigs.

I just worked on it. They're solid all the way up except for the third placement. That's where the chisel broke. Don't worry, though, it's only about 40 feet up.

I am worried that it won't actually be that easy once I get out there. I was just scrolling through my facebook and saw a picture of the route it happened on and my heart literally dropped through the floor. When Majid makes some stupid post about it, I don't know what I will do.

JW, sorry to hear about your loss.
Do what you feel comforatable doing. Either climb or not. Climb with friends in his memmory, or take time by yourself.
Best wishes for you and prayers for the family. Don

Related. I went on a bike ride yesterday and thought I was in ungodly superman shape, but then I realized, I wasn't wearing my backpack.
