Tried the lead, ended top roping it
Attempt #1 Trad Lead
I got about half way, and began to question my gear being able to protect the top offwidth section safely. If I had a big bro #3 I would have attempted to finish this lead. At the top, I tried to place my #6 camalot, but it was too small, and my #5 big bro was too big. Looking back, you could slide your #6 up til you can't, then runout the top.If you place your pro deep, it wouldn't interfere with the transition from liebacking to offwidth.
Attempt #2
As a top rope route, I really enjoyed the offwidth. It was a great route. If you want to top rope it, belay from the top to keep the rope abrasion to a minimum.
