Contributed by Flavio Aug/15 - This public hilllist has been seen 12,431 times

Lists some of the best UK cracks in width/difficulty order from fingers, hands, fists to offwidths as recommended by the Wideboyz articles. The E grade usually stands for 'Effort' on many of these, especially the offwidths. Bonus points for not using tape.
