Off_White Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 (edited) In the "what would you climb" (great beta there by the way) Catbirdseat asked if there was any crack bouldering out there. Rather than drift that thread, I moved my response to a new one. CBS: if you want to check out bouldering with cracks, you should head down to Mt. Woodson near San Diego. Stacks and stacks of cracks, though most often they get top roped. Edited February 20, 2004 by Off_White Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 speaking of thread drift, taking note of your palindromic autosig, did you know that much of the genetic material of the Y-chromosome is palindromic? It has something to do with error correction in the absence of a complimentary partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_Simpkins Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Classic Crack Area - Leavenworth is ok at best. Start of Exasperator- Squish The start of the cracks at Shannon falls are good. I think the best thing to do around here is to throw a top rope at Octopus Gardens at Squish start at the left then switch anchors to the right and keep going. Tons of good cracks...its like crack school. Long pitches of hand cracks and others. I can't think of better place to learn around here. The route that goes through that small tree is very good for techique, so is the Octopus Garden route. That's my 2 cents. Good luck. My friend has a good way to make solid cracks out of 2 x 6's at home. They are solid and adjustable. PM me and I'll put you in touch. He lives down there he might be able to help you build them.

colt45 Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 If you're looking to work technique without leaving the city, there are several nice boulder-problem cracks at Stone Gardens: hands, vertical. hands, 45 deg overhanging. Off-fingers/tight hands to hands, vertical. Fist, vertical. Doing lots of laps on those, up & down, has significantly improved my climbing on the real thing outdoors. UW rock has a lot of cracks too, although they tend to be pretty challenging b/c they're shallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
