Thin cracks are cool, but they're even better when the peter out and end at a thin face. Heh heh heh he had his peter out.

Mojede,
Where is that pic from? Noticed you're from Butte - the climber in the CCK picture above is a Montana man, Bozeman I think.

Another Gunks "thin crack," same size as Equinox at Joshua Tree (yellow alien/.4 cam) except it's a horizontal crack and a whole lot easier. This section of link up that combines the best part of three wildly different climbs clocks in at about 5.6 or so.

lucander, I don't recognize the Bozeman man on CCK, but names go a long ways in these parts--I have probably heard OF him before :-)
The crack I posted is on the backside of a crag well above (in elevation) its more famous counterparts--King and Queen of Spire Rock, Pipestone MT.

This one could go either way...
Dimes or thin crack. Well, thinner than dimes and the pro is in the crack and so are a lot of the holds. So it goes here.

Couldn't find a digital pic of "5.11 Crack" at the Voo... It's "only 5.9+" and should be fairly easy, right? It's "old school 5.9+," and has had fatalaties (note the plural). Jaybro--if you have a picture, post it up since all mine are on old color slides at this point.

Here is a video TR from earlier this year of Serenity Crack. Such a great thin crack save for the history of it. The climbing on the first pitch is still classic none the less. Only time I've ever used a lobster jam.
We used a Nikon D3100 HDSLR and a Go Pro Hero. The Go Pro died before Sons Of Yesterday.

Enjoy!
