Ciley, Always thought A Dogs was rated 12.a which is what most people are calling Separate Reality these days. Anyways, makes a lot more sense. BVB that East Coast thing looks classic.

yeah kenny, on dog's i shot right out to the lip and took a near-grounder after turning it. i was so surprised at having done the thing that i came unglued in the 5.10 shallow corner above the roof. did it next try.
i taped my fingers pretty good and no doubt that helped quite a bit in that rattly section.

BVB, are you rocking the sportiva Tao in that NE sequence? I hated those things...they died a fast and much-deserved death. Good edging, though, I suppose.

rhodo, those flippers i'm runnin' on dog's are 5.10 verticals. i liked 'em a lot until i got some fire ballets resoled with 5.10 rubber. the fire last/5.10 rubber matchup produced one hell of a fine shoe for cracks, slabs, and steep face climbing.

Pat, I found that and others yesterday near the Interstate on My side of the pass. I e-mailed Tom some pics of the finer (but not all ) pebbles that I found. I am down for something this week, let me know when you can and I can work out the kiddo situation.
edit: fist to wide-hands, I reckon--not sure if a kick-through would be helpful or not.

Did someone mention Overdrive in Yosemite?
Here's a shot of myself leading the roof. The crux as Tarbuster had said is just over the roof where the crack thins, and a tough 1-1/4 move bars the way to the top.
Since were on the subject of roofs, I should throw out the Dune Cracks, in the San Fernando valley, California. 43 feet of overhanging crack that varies from 1-1/2 to 3-1/2 inches. Great training for the aspiring crackmaster!
and a short movie clip too!!

No. That was in the blissful pre-camera period.
I thought of that one but it is more of a hand traverse under a roof although it happens to go out the roof, too.
