Oh my god, someone soloed Classic Crack? They must be a fucking badass. :laf:

 

By the way did you hear that Eric Mohler once soloed Brass Balls?

He pays people a buck every time that gets posted on cc.com.

 

Much like in "It's a Wonderful Life", every time Pope soloing Brass Balls gets a post, a mummy in Egypt gets disinterred.

Well, if Classic Crack is not hardcore enough for ya to solo, there are routes are either side of it that are the same height just a little stiffer. I don't see anyone soloing them......much

 

The one on the left is only 5.8 but is skeery to solo.

 

Yeah.. it was a bit flaring and required more layback type stuff then straight jamming IMO

I was in L-Town for the last couple days and walked over to Classic Crack and soloed it.

Hey Fu*king, they have these things called cars. You can drive to Classic Crack from L-Town. You don't have to walk. :grin:

 

Great route... but would be better if it was say, 100ft long.

Outer Space has a 100ft 5.8 handcrack and it's a shorter walk from L-Town

We spent allot of time during the summers at the UW climbing rock, most midweek evenings in the summer. That place teaches you how to jam in such painful nasty concrete(tape up!) that if you spend anytime there, climbing Classic Crack will be a cakewalk. The UW climbing rock cracks are probably the best place to train for Yosemite and granite splitters that I could imagine.

Does anyone train there anymore or is it not in vogue? I left the Seattle area many moons ago.....

 

UW rock is not quite the scene it used to be but there's still a lot of locals that train there and there's always new kids/rookies starting out there.

I was at 8 Mile Camp.... not too long to walk. Outer Space does sound like a good solo too.

Say there little shaver, that event is still making you moist? Then learn to count. The correct number is four.
