PS. WTF *is* that thin crack!
PSS. Heart of Darnkess is super solid. Too bad it's dinky-doink.
Clip the chains on top of HOD then climb the wide crack to the right. Jump from the top of that for a really cool swing though the chamber ! YeeHaw!!

It was the last time that I climbed that route SpiderMan that I saw the chance to go fishing. I topped out, and while bringing my partner up, looking out over the vista, I noticed two ladies hiking around somewhat aimlessly...my spidey senses tingled...
When my partner was half way up, I now noticed that one woman hiked back towards the road and the other was coming around to the Corridor. By this time, partner is topping out and the one woman is nearing one end of the Corridor. There is nobody else around at all. So I start to chat with her from on top of the climb. I invite her to follow up if she's interested. She accepts. I couldn't believe it...well okay, I throw the rope down, she ties in and fires it!
I have no idea what happened after that. . . thank God for women that can fire 5.10 cracks right off the trail!

Leave the tape at home, just bring your technique instead.

Thanks, Murf - I'm now settled down, but far from sated. Should last me through another .5 hrs. of work.

I would have to guess that Randy has many things without a scratch, Surrealistic being one of them.
Remember... tape is AID.... Jumars on a Roll..... a Thugs best friend.... instant technique..... puss pillows..... city slicker equilizer..... Gumby uniform.....
You can tape if:
You already have a huge gobie in that exact spot.
You are a dentist.
You are a hemophilliac.
You are a hand model.
You are into unprotected high risk activities below the waistband.
You are French.
You are a 5.6 guy on a 5.11 fist crack (still aid, but realistically you have ZERO chance, so why leave a staph infection behind for the next guy).
You are a food handler at some place I eat.
These are my rules. YMMV

Actually the coarsest routes I've done recently are Handsaw (Jumbo Rocks Corridor -- very appropriately named too) and Spiderman (Conan's Corridor). On the later, my left ankle got a wee bit abraded, but no blood.
But, to each their own; there are no rules. Tape or not, doesn't make any difference to me. If your patients, clients, or others are put off by scabby hands, by all means...
I will opine, however, that if you consistently tape, your jamming technique will perpetually suffer. Most gobies are caused by moving your hand while you have it jammed.
