Hate to ask, but would Dragon's Mouth in Muir be considered OW? at leat in the middle. It might be a bit too chimney for OW but it is easy and comfortable. And there is some opportunity to learn some OW techniques and protection strategies. The grade certainly isn't as intimidating as some of the other suggested routes

you can always trail a second rope and haul up protection as you need it! the 'parallelojams' section of _return to sender_ does a pretty good job of explaining some basics of off-width.

TR Dicey at Best and try to do it without laying it back or stemming!
