Best wide crack in Vic/NSW. 18-Jun-2014 At 11:29:22 PM sbm

Message

That's me on cacaphonic crack...probably more awkward to aid than to free if you shove a #6 above you...it was a terrible choice for an aid warm up.

In Sydney, go to the Cathedral down in Sutherland, many offwidths there. Can't think of any north of the harbour off the top of my head.

In the Blue Mountains

Transcedental Meditation at Zig Zag. Sandbag at 22, I've belayed bultitude on it and he was making progress doing it inversion style feet above head.

Genesis and Gemini down the end at Mt Piddington are apparently wide and physical.

The Monster Offwidth at Mt York has the name but I've never actually checked it out.

Jezebel at Ikara - "take a spare liter of blood"

Telstar at Ikara. Squeeze chimney out a huge exposed roof. By all accounts one of the scariest routes in the mountains.

Landslide Chimney on the Dogface might be one that's scarier than Telstar...dunno anyone that's done it to compare! A thrash deep into the bowels of choss.

Gypsy and the Firecat, Triple Echo up in the Wolgan.

Don't discount Point Perpendicular, several brutal looking wide cracks lurking around there, there's a photo of Mike Lee shoulder deep in Icebird, also I think there's climbs called Frothwidth and Man Boobs (?)
