I sure thought splitter was defined by being "straight-in," as in not in a dihedral.

I always just used the term to describe any crack that is fairly uniform. I guess I will go look at El Cap now to decide. What are you going to go look at. HA,HA.

Scooter, no need to get all superior since you now live a stones throw away from the captain! That crack you speak of is 'splitter' in the catagory you mean, meaning 'bad-ass', not just straight-in. I know the multi-lingo so I have you covered bro!

you should not find hackberry crack in the new guide book. As it is located at HCR.

great route.

Here is a quick list:

Spank Me
Cling to Evil
Razorback Roof
Coup D'etat
Windy Armbuster
Demise of Mister Riffraff
Stems and Seeds
Wisdom and Folly
Big Top
Man Servant

It is hard to list only ten. I think this list might change on any given day.

I like this thread.

Elijah, glad you like Spank Me. Its name was also inspired by that hellion kid on my back up further in the thread. When I was going for the red point, my smaler wife was tied to a tree while belaying me. The kid was a hellion and ran around knowing his mom couldnt do anything, so he helled "you can't spank me, you can't spank me", plus well, I got pumped on that route.

Darth Aider is in Wilton, Mo. I failed on the attempted FFA in the pic but Eric Forney picked up the first a little while later. I still have that rugby shirt btw. These routes are also at Wilton.

pictured is the FFA - Kansas City

This as another attempted FFA that was later claimed by Eric Forney.

Scooter, I'm glad that you and El Cap are on speaking terms. Not everyone experiences verbal (and/or written) communication with a rock--especially not about US rock climbing-specific lingo. Congrats. You must be a very good person.
