Indian Creek Roof Cracks

After doing Incredible Hand Crack and King Cat at Indian Creek, roof cracks are starting to grow on me.

That being said, I got seriously cat-scratched on the top-out on King Cat. Are there other roof or roof-esque hand cracks?

4x4 is really nice. The roof is tight #4 C4 cams.

Wavy Gravy. Similar to the overhang on Incredible. And alot easier than 4x4 or king cat.

Think Pink is similar and most definitely a step up. Awesome climb!

Spaghetti Western at Pistol Whipped. Though the ultimate roof cracks are all in Zion. Like The Organasm!

Sinestra has some good roof action, and a whole lot more!

The roof on R.I.L.F. at Suburbia looks rad.

Also check out Capital Roof at Capital Reef. It's a short hike from the Fruita campground. Four star roof with 2 star climbing above and below the roof.

I believe the OP was for "hand" cracks. That noted, if you have VERY BIG hands then Carnivore is a good one.

If you're interested in branching out beyond Indian Creek, I recommend the Eye of Newt route on the Cauldrons tower in Hell Roaring Canyon ( mountainproject.com/v/eye-o… ). One of the biggest roofs I've every done at nearly 20 feet, and it goes at 10/10+ hands. Great route, great location.

Crack house in the Gemini bridges is as sick and long as anything I have seen

Should be enough to go on. Twitch looks cool. I'll have to take a look at some of those alternate locations as well. Thanks!
