Folks, shout out some LCC (or elsewhere nearby) boulder problems sportin' a crack. Not that I don't enjoy testing the coefficient of friction on the slabb sh$t.
I've only done a bit so I'll start:
The O/W boulder on the trail between the park and ride and the secret garden.

As mentioned, the 3 OW problems are pretty quality. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of straight up crack boulder problems in LCC - seems like the cracks manage to stay up on the walls.

The first one that comes to mind is a problem called the Salathe, at the secret garden. Head up to shingles and then head directly west. It's on the north side of the tall boulder there. It's one of the coolest V0 problems in the canyon, and is almost entirely crack climbing. Tons of fun.

There's some problems that are kinda cracky - for example, the monolith at the Cabbage patch has a seam that traverses up the side of it. Make sure you bring a rope and harness to TR it; it's definitely a solo otherwise. Also, down lower, there's another boulder problem with a sit start that starts in a crack. Ends up with a bulge-humping mantle however.

There's a very tall problem at the parking lot that's sort of like a crack, but it's actually shotholes that have weathered and split the rock - regardless, it's good and a fun way to sketch yourself out a bit.

Beer can boulder has a big awesome V0 flake - again, not really a crack, but still pretty quality.

Wasatch resort has a crackish V0 at the warm up area.

IIRC, the grist mill has a really quality crack problem that kinda traverses a little.

There's a thin seam problem down at the riverside. While you're there do the big tall sketchball V0 on the back of the actual riverside boulder. It's awesome.

That's about all I can come up with right now - if I think of more I'll post again.

Mormons on crack @ the Grist Mill. Only a couple moves in a finger crack though
