it's pretty climbable right now. the all week, after-work-and-weekends-season starts in earnest in about 6 - 8 weeks and goes until the first snows next fall. best year-round climbing climate i've ever enjoyed.

Still hasn't seen a repeat in over 20 years. Middle of nowhere, KY. OW in the cave to fists out the roof 25' or so, hard to see the size from photos but it flares the whole way.

All the years of dirtbaggin' in the ditch in the 80's and this is the first I've seen of either of the two roof cracks posted above. CE and ML both look amazing!

Why aren't they called ceiling cracks? I can stand on the roof of my house.
Odd how someone called the ceiling the "roof."

If they were ceilings how could you get above them?
Or maybe they are roof cracks because they go to the roof.
Some of the bouldering examples probably are ceilings.

Deliverance - Lost Boulders, Yos
Might be the best crack problem in the Valley. Tight hands tapering to fingers near the lip. Stout ring lock crux. A little hard to find, but worth the search.

Deliverance? That looks good. Methinks it worth a trip come summer.

Vertigo's third pitch is a terrific roof crack!
This photo shows a climber exiting onto the headwall above, right at the lip,
So while we don't see the roof so well, there's a good sense of the exposure:
from CLIMB!

A little something we found out in the backyard. No free attempts yet, but with a little scrub... It's mostly gold camalots.

Here's a 30' roof, called the Macabre Wall Roof, 450' off the deck, mostly a crack (but the crux is when the crack ends 10' before the lip). It was first free climbed by my brother Greg in 1967. Has only been freed once more, in 2002. Ken Gygi, the 2nd ascenscionist, figured it's about 12c. Pretty impressive for the day!

Mesmerized, on Mariuolumne Dome IS one of my fave roof cracks.
Starts out fingers, long reach through to good hands, foot kicker high step over the lip...
