Here's a splitter that is for many a spitter as well...

I saw the phrase splitter crack, and was on my way to post Lotus Flower Tower, when I go to the last page, and see Mr. Grossman has rightly posted.

I can't remember if it's splitter or offset but 'Of wine and Roses' is a classic crack climb!

What about Sphinx Crack in Sphinx Park, Colorado? S. Plate area. I know it's a perfect splitter because it was dynamited. Is it still in a No Trespassing zone?

Bruce,

Sphinx Crack is still definitely a no trespassing zone. A few other areas in the S. Platte have lost access in recent years as well. For instance, Squat Rock was closed a few years ago. That was where I led my very first 5.9 traditional route.

A little more South Platte:

Scorpio Crack (5.10+). I think this thing is slightly overhanging the whole way (fingers and thin hands). Haven't made it there yet to climb it, though.
