Just re-read the top-roping thread - got me thinking, I ought to be out climbing more with my copious free time, even if all my partners are happily employed and unavailable. ha
So, what are some good 5.10 crack pitches in Yosem for top roping (ie. easy way to get up and set up rope).

If you want to learn wide cracks Generator Crack and Chingando (requires going up a 5.4 chimney to set rope) would be good.

Hey rockermike. I was just looking for toproper spots for yosemite and i see you don't have a partner. When are you getting out there and do you want a partner (or two?)
I don't know where any of the good tr spots are in yosemite but wanna find 'em.

climb/solo Jamcrack and setup a TR. There's a couple of nice .10 TRs there. Lazy Bum. Can't remember the other one. Lead Lazy Bum earlier this year. People seemed confused. Mostly gets done on TR.
You can also solo the .6 flake thing at Swan and then setup a TR on the .10 face climbs and .9 crack that are around the corner.
OR... you could aid something and setup a solo TR, to push yourself a bit.
Short Circuit is a great climb, easy to setup on TR. But goes at .11c or d.

In Tuolumne the 'Western Addition' area is cool, by DAFF Dome. 5 or 6 5.10's all in row!!!

RocJox has (basically) got the right idea.
But actually I've never clipped a bolt in my life. And I've done every 5.8 in the valley at least 20 times. In fact I'm stuck. This is my chance to push my limits. ha
10 laps on copper penny and five and dime certainly can't hurt IMHO.
