Cracks are fun!

So....looking specifically:

California's best overhanging hand cracks (green camalot to yellow camalot size). Steep, roofs anything!

Let me know!

You need to be thinking Utah. Overhanging green camalot cracks, be careful what you wish for.

The first 25' of the 5th pitch of the West Face of Rixon's is pretty darn cool!

Forgot about More Monkey. Definitely awesome.

Even that short roof on Rollerball (.10b) at Josh is really good value.

Clearly, as Donini sez, you need to look in the desert, but 'tales' is a sort of a preview.

Enduro Corner on Astroman and the last 11b pitch of The Rostrum come to mind, and the climbing before and after those pitches is rather good as well...

Overdrive in Yosemite. A 2in 10ft roof at .11a or so the book says. Haven't climbed it yet.
