>What do they do in places like Ymite where the offwidths go for entire pitches? Do they leapfrog cams or do they take a massive rack? I'm envisioning those Indian Creek racks, but full of #5's and 6's.

Jake B from Tas had 2 #6's on daisy chains for the monster offwidth a (45 metre 23) and shuffled them up. On the same pitch and climbing the Freerider route in a day with Myan from NZ- Niels from Utah did not take up any big cams. He knew there was a fixed #6 on the monster but instead of clipping it he bootied it and continued climbing! Different ends of the spectrum for pro but the climbing doesnt change. The monster has a few bolts in it. So do a bunch of the OW's there for historical or political reasons. Regardless of the pro you still have to know how to climb them which is the hard part.
