Cheap Date: Bones rippling muscles on Cheap Date

 

Cheap Date: Jamming is the way forward

Inside Straight: Sequence of pictures showing climbing the flaring off-width

 

Inside Straight: Stuffing gear high into the off-width

 

Inside Straight: Laybacking the outer edge seems to be the way forward, although it's waaay pumpy

 

Inside Straight: Disappearing into the off-width; this is actually climbed on the outside, but it's hard to make the transition
