If anyone knows of a better finger crack than the 250+' continuous Bony Fingers on the Whale in Whitney Portal, please let me know.

Side note regarding the above:
extend Sig Sauer? Do you have toothpicks for fingers???!!??!
There are some easier (and *excellent*) finger cracks pitches on and around Calaveras Dome. Pitch 5 of Sands of time, pitch 5 of Gemini Cracks come to mind. Both 5.8 and they are STELLAR.

Tami's right...that P2 (i think) crux fingercrack pitch on McTech Arete is stellar.
Still sorta feels like cragging with a view on the Crescent Spires though...
but what a view it is.

mr natural is super!try the MAGNUS, a obscure route up rock crk, not in the new guide book but I think it's in older version of eastside guide book, a bit of an approach but worth the effort.

haha!!
yeah, put the big pink in to see who was paying attention....only jaybro picked that one up!!!
seems like sig saur would have an obvious extention, since the anchors are only 10-15 feet past where the true splitter begins....
i only climbed it once, but it looks like it stays in the yellows for at least 30 to 40 more feet, before turning into .65 or smaller... have to give er' a closer look in march :D
a couple of forgotten:
Max Factor (thought of this on the way to butte...one of the finer at the woo)
digital extraction (duh), has anyone ever done the second pitch besides hong?!?! just a rumor im trying to confirm....
deli express (the harder version of carol's)...another hong classic!
some sweet shots of some nice finger cracks!!! keep em' coming!!!
digital extraction
cheers,
patrick

Angel Crack at Castle Rock in Tumwater Canyon near Leavenworth, WA. It is quite short, so doesn't measure up to the lengths of these other climbs but it crams in some cool fierce finger jams on granite. It is a NW classic first freed by Fred Beckey and many a trad climber has worked their technique on Angel Crack and Midnight Rock and then gone on to Yosemite. Its my favorite becasue it is where I first learned.
