So.
In my hunt for overhanging hand cracks, thought I keep a log!
So far climbed:
-Karls Overhang (Fun roof!)
-Karls Gym (maybe a stretch?)
-Blues Riff (So much better to climb pitch 1+2 as 1 pitch!)
-Memo for Loyd
-Do or Fly
-Tideline
-Horseshoes and Hand Grenades
-Short Circuit
-Positivity (Need to finish this climb but the overhanging hands part rocked!)
-Orangutan Arch (Still steep!)
-A Dogs Roof (Ok, not technically hands, but still fun!)
-Californian Nightmare
-Robbins Crack
-Jaws
-The Crucibile (ok this more of an all size range, but still ugh at the top)
-Sinbad-Herbert (Another stretch?)
-Sureallistic Pillar Direct
-Leanie Meanie
-Red Zinger (Red Rocks 2nd pitch crux)
-40 Days of Rain (Pinnacles)
Yay so far, going to continue on my tour for awesome overhanging cracks!
Thanks for the suggestions guys & gals my ticklist has def expanded!
Absolutely trying to make it out to the Creek sometime soon!

you got 40 days of rain?! looks sick. Did it feel 12c? looks totally doable from the ground. I've gotta get on that this winter.

Hey Karo
The rating might be a tad overly generous, I can see the rating being what it is if one didn't know how to jam, and the jams are not bad (Those with bigger mitts will love this climb!)
Other than that, felt that Karl's Overhang, for comparison is harder and more sustained than 40 Days of Rain!
Desert Gold looks awesome saw a wonderful picture of Alan climbing it, just beautiful! Def will need to work up to that first pitch!

Donner Summit:
Firecracker 10b at black wall, has an awesome roof with nice hands.
lightning bolt roof 11c/d is hands for me!!! #3 camalots black wall as well
bypass 11a on snowshed wall really cool
2nd pitch of jelly roll arch on grouse slab
slowhand 10d on grouse slab too is really cool one of my favorite on the summit
karls overhang 11a on school rock is o.k.
Separate reality 11d and desert gold 13a (or desert reality 11c just the roof) Are pretty much the best I've seen around.
Overdrive is not all that cool really short and weird to get to.
A dog's roof 45 degree purple camalot spliter. so cool
More monkey that funky and big bobs are perfect hands wear tape on both!!!! Zombie woof 12b is green camalots out a 10 foot roof, and It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing 12b is a 15 foot finger crack.
If you find or hear about anymore roof cracks let me know!
