This is totally lame but I'll post it anyway.
I was watching that really old John Long climbing video "basic rock climbing" and at the end some guy and gal climb what looks like a 2 pitch crack climb in the valley. It looks like a crack in a corner through a small roof on the second pitch. I'm heading back to the ditch and was wondering if anyone knows what route it is so I can go try and climb it.
Like I said this may be the dumbest post ever but I'm curious so here goes.

spankey the Dumbest is that one about Republicans. I got nothing for or against them, but a POLITICAL thread with like 22K posts...wonder if a political sight gets as many hits on a climbing thread!
Peace

I'd wondered about that myself. Now I know!
The guy and gal I looked up a bit ago, but now I can't remember who they are. I'm sure someone here will know.

Definitely Flower of High Rank at Suicide Rock in SoCal. One of the best 5.9s ever. First pitch is pretty sustained5.7-5.9 moves with great natural protection and lots of thin ledges so it's not all jams. The second pitch from the tree features a really fun overhang that is not more than 5.9.
I believe he chose it for the end of the vid as it is one of the most beautiful climbs anywhere. Also very easy to video from the hillsides nearby.
