Winter is fast approaching, and this thread demands an update. You get that shop cleared out yet?

OK folks, design challenge: 22' high wall, very long, all 2x6 beams and no shear paneling. It's a huge unreinforced cripple wall on downhill side of house in earthquake country, and I have to cover it all with shear panel for a seismic retrofit. But when I cover it up, I lose access to anchoring into the beams.
I'd like to make a variety of cracks, chimney, dihedrals. It would be easy to slap some 2x12s onto either side of the existing 2x6 and call that a great 1.5" crack. And double up the 2x6s on another beam, slap more 2x12s outside of that and call it a 3" perfect crack. But if I do that, I destroy the whole point of connection for shear paneling from top to bottom.
How would other folks deal with this? Is it stronger to have a single vertical break in the shear paneling, or to offset it to the next beams every 8 feet to stagger it?
Any ideas?
