Prudential Off-Width (LYLALTI start)

This crack makes up the first 1/3 of the route Losing Your Life and Living Through It. I thought it could do with its own description because it ends on a defined ledge with an anchor (just a bit to the left, the Pru Crack anchor) and it can be quite dry when other routes and the upper half of this one are wet. With a directional or two it could easily be top roped after leading Pru Crack.

Climb easily for the first few feet on good holds and good feet before things get a little awkward in the wide section and down right hard as the crack thins out. Kneebars are helpful for the last of the business section. Take a little rest at the ledge and move left easily to the Prudential Crack anchor.

Under the big Prudential roof it is the wide crack to the right of the crooked birch tree and Pru Crack.

Normal rack of cams and a #5 camalot (not strictly needed but convenient)
