Good Cracks.

lots of good cracks in the gunks! Bonnies roof 8 or do the direct at 9 and splitter roof crack, ants line 9, groovy 8, first pitch of carbs and caffene and airy aria, and those are all right next to each other.. Down by yellow wall at the traps... Lots more cracks too... But I agree w the rest... Best to go to the dacks!

Are you looking for multi pitch stuff, or are single pitches OK with you? If single pitches are cool check out Lost T cliff. It has some really good cracks. It's in the southern Dacks so it's not as far up as the Beer wall or the other stuff in Keene. It's a fairly new crag so you will need to google it to get the Spray. Good Luck.

Come over to central CT, east peak is a great area to practice crack climbing. Rat Crack(100ft, 5.7) Cat Crack (100ft, 5.10) Dol Goldur (90ft, 5.12) Rite of Spring(60ft, 5.11). All offer great practice on different crack technique. The Gunks has some good cracks as well, obviously.

On Crane Mountain, Parallel Passage and Plumb Line are the hot crack lines. (a bit of a giveaway coming: the former can be climbed as a crack, but is much easier done otherwise...). These are two incredible lines. Second Job, while not pure crack climbing, is next door and a definite add to your tick-list. Oh, the short crux of Adirondack Rehab is one of the more exasperating crack moves around, and also nearby - of course, you have to sweat out the friction moves at the bottom to get there!
In the Adirondack High Peaks/Chapel Pond area, several have already been listed, I might add Hesitation as a good one, also, though of course Spider's Web routes are the real pure, hard cracks to tackle. Add another kudo for the Beer Walls. Creature Wall has a few crack lines as well, not sure that has been mentioned.
There are some far-flung incredible crack lines sprinkled throughout the Adks; a perusal of the most recent guidebook highlights some of the more interesting ones. Good Luck Cliff has a great 5.9+ crack. Lost-T cliffs, a new-found area listed on the new guidebook's website, supposedly has two of the best pure 5.9 cracks in the Adks. (LT_101 and LT_103), see adirondackrock.com/newroute… for more information.
