well, you said it mark. The crux of the fracture is .10d. Just one move though. I'd be tempted to say the same is true of Catchy.

There are some real ass kicker ten deez though.

Man, I thought Waverly Wafer was so easy. Not even 10c. But I have small hands and did it when I was strong and on a roll. Probably would feel 11 now.

I like the NH "5.10+" genre: Recluse is one. Many, many many others.

Last weekend I sikked a friend on 2 pitches @ Fairview Dome, the 1st two of Sorcerer's Apprentice. Reid has them at .9 & .10b. Head on up there and tell me what you think.

I thought Little Wing was hard, and it got to my head when making the first, in-your-face moves off of that thin, exposed ledge.

Five and Dime has always had my number, same as Copper Penny over there. The times I've been there I've left that crag feeling worked and defeated, but never demoralized.

One day at the Cookie some guy told me that Hardd was a .10d, so I gave it a shot. No dice.

if you're looking for demoralized, try .10b at Arch. har!

Here's one from Cathedral a few weeks back, Abracadabra, with wootles leading it clean though not easy. Where he's at the crack overhangs and bottoms out into a shallow, rounded flare.

My first lead at Indian Creek. I thought that one was Cosmic.

Chiloe -- I had forgot about that one. Abracadabra is an SOB.

Yeah, I thought so. Too shallow to jam and too rounded to layback. The feet weren't any good either, and I wasn't impressed with the pro. Lucky thing wootles had the sharp end.

My favorites on Whitehorse, the megaclassic Ethereal and the fingercrack on Sleeping Beauty.

cramming seemed to be the hardest climb that wasn't a bad size that I've ever been on. the fact that I was expecting it to feel "5.10" whatever that means did not help.

Cramming was the hardest 5.10c crack i have ever done. Can't say i actually "Free" climbed it.

In my photo, the first pitch of Intimidation is that corner just to our left. They start the same place.

Hey, it's not 5.10+ (just a stout 5.9), but have you done that linkup of 2nd pitch Antline to the Bicycle Route hand crack? Quite something!

Nope haven't done that yet but do remember Tomcat talking about the Bicycle route. Will have to add that to the evergrowing list!

The only one I've gotten the courage to hop on is OZ in Tuolumne, and it is beautiful! (3rd pitch is a crack)
