Dave goes to bed early, Mike. But now that you mention it, I'm going to try and get home earlier than ten and then Ghost might join us. Maybe Grossman, too. Stay tuned for updates on one of your threads. Dude, you're on fire!
After years of waiting of waiting for a good day to do Mr. Clean I said f it and solo aided it and then climbed it on the the Mini Trax. Great day, drove over the Bearlodge though the snow and it was fairly cool. But I am not sure I have seen a better crack.
im addicted to crack and looking
at myself on the internest
its 4 oclock in virgina
so the boss is drivin back to the office
they have cell phone laws in virgina right
damn that technology
i just dreamed of my wife's skirt
blowing up a little too high in
these autumn breezes
my man aint fallin
what was i gonna do again?
i should call paul,
he needs some curvy trim
the bike tire is flat
tomorrow im sposed to ride at 8000'
the fall colors must be rippin
i should call my connection,

i really got to getta life in order,
its kinda spun i like
milking my mania until i bleed from the eyes
but damn i havent' slapt in some dayz,
after this binge i'll lay flat on the
dirt and allow the sun to cook
off my toxins,
but i don't believe in anything
i sold my spirit to the vilian on the corner,
and my shoes are disaster
my skids across the land aint proud
my kids don't admire me
im standin on the sandy shore
all suited and martinied
shoutin mayday, mayday
to all the shipwrecks i see passin by
i gotta get off this stuff,
gotta find a cleaner high
my teeth are rottin
just now i saw one-a my hairs drift listlessly to the floor
whenever i drive to the floor
all the dirty flies and skeeters flee
they don't want my blood
they don't want to lay their young in my moist eyes,
First things first: Posting pictures of wide fissures, and pretending it has anything to do with crack climbing is sick. SICK!!!! Wide is for perverts. Masochists. Demented psychos with a pain fetish.
Give me captions y'all! Briham?!! What is that stuff? Ghost, Gal? Give us the info!
Well sir, I can't speak for either of the other two, but regarding my picture, I can definitely state that it was just a short way rightward from here...

In fact, if you click on this last picture, and look closely, you can see two of our very own Supertopians, not just one.
I believe at this point all I can say is it's along the Sonora Pass Highway.....splitter and have never seen another climber there :)
Although the new guide book is coming out in the spring and then you can go there yourself!!!
Get down here man. I'll be a weekend warrior the rest of the fall and then boarding and climbing all winter....I'll have to make a Squamish trip next summer....I hear there's climbing up there?!?!?
Ghost, you have a narrow perspective. It's not appreciated. Straight and narrow, wide and curvy. God loves them all. Take note. She's watching you.--CosmicBagMan

Ghost, we are entitled to our opinions. Ignore her, just get your head out of there.
That goes for the rest of you wide-crack bigots, too.
Let's get on with the Crack Attack.
I got no personal archive of crack shots. They suit me not. But I have dreamed of stardom in the specialization of cracks. Let's face it, they are the stars, the crack specialists like Sacherer and Pratt...

The legend in this is hard to make out. It reads:
3. Crime and Punishment (9+, 10a) Hand-size classic.
4. Penis Dimension (10c) Hands to large hands.
5. Hung Like A Horse (11a) Hands, laybaacking.
6. I'd Rather Be In Philadelphia (12c) Hands and fingers to anchor.

Some don't need or want crack, but everyone likes it.
Anyone who says differently is in denial.
The audience held their breath as Tommy hit the stage--so people actually climb on rocks?

Big Mike, you are a crack-up!
Nice TR on the way out here, man.
Are you planning a return to CaliFORNIA?
It is the Zip, nice little crack. My wife and I went looking for it and were told it was now off-limits (I have a 10 year old guide book). Decided to climb it anyway. No one arrested us.
Nice ones boys! Ill be climbing crack before i know it! Gonna try and stop by the bluffs on rhe way back from going home for easter and fondle a few...
Of the 2, Overthruster is the better route IMO. The dificulty of Cow Crack depends on how #1 Camalots fit your hand size. 90% 0f the route is #1s and the rest is trivial. Although most of Overthruster is also #1s it is steeper then finishes with overhanging 3s and then some.
I can (done several times, usually just to the first anchor, but at least once to the top), but I won't ruin the thrill for anyone else who wants to try. Make sure your calves are ready for a workout.
Let us know!
