list of best single pitch (or 2 pitch) overhanging splitter finger cracks?

I know of gold fingers already would love to hear about more. I have never climbed in the meadow or Yosemite or really anywhere on gear in California.

SoCal Eastside Yosemite Tahoe whatever... I'm down to travel for good splitter finger cracks. I just don't know about them. I figure this is a fun topic you can spray a little about the rad finger cracks in Cali you've done. I want to hear :)

A couple off the top of my head:
Butterballs, Yosemite
Bony Fingers, Whitney Portal

Andy....

You might wish to go toss yourself at this, I did and after 3 years of trying I gave up.

Vatican Porn 12B..... Church Domes.

I wish I had some photos.

Oh-yea, I just remembered this one:

The Right "E" crack, 12C ..... Rincon, Kern River Valley

And

The Left "E" crack, 12C.... Rincon, Kern River Valley

Espresso Crack at Little Egypt
The crux pitch of The Prow at Cardinal Pinnacle

awesome dudes

guy if you want to go back there I'll hit that this summer with you. I'm finally getting back into shape ha

Andy, I'll let you know. Right now I'm having a issue with my left leg, ( I can't stand on it!!!! ) just had a MRI, meeting with the doc's next monday ....
if it starts working, a Church Dome trip will be in order. I'll let ya know.

The Rincon is a winter spot, a good place to spend the winter without LEO interfearence.

Tips and Cosmic Debris come to mind

The Phoenix?

the crux section of blues riff? bombs over tokyo, lunatic fringe, 3rd pitch west crack, serenity crack 3rd pitch. defiantly the prow on cardinal pinnacle.

Any specific grade range you're looking for? For hard stuff idk but I know a few good moderates in the mid-12ish range...

Wunsch´s Dihedral in the South Platte CO is great.

"serenity crack 3rd pitch"

That sounds like the best OVERHANGING fingercrack! Good Call!

Surprised no one has mentioned Grand Illusion (5.13b) at Sugarloaf near Tahoe. Also Equinox in Joshua tree, but that is vertical if not only very slightly overhanging.

Sasquatch Crack is a boulder problem in the Valley near Le Conte Memorial which is supposed to be quite difficult. If you're at Generator Crack there is a good but short crack called Conductor across the street.

Sorry I don't have more, finger cracks that are overhanging are usually out of my price range. :)

Moment of Zen at Pine Creek isn't quite as low angle as the pictures here would make it look. Very high quality route and fairly stiff for 11a...it is tips, though. Espresso Crack is one everyone has talked up to me, but I have yet to experience it. Same with that pitch on The Prow @ Cardinal Pinnacle.

Why not head out to Utah and go hard on some sandstone finger cracks if steep is what you are looking for. A fantastic one at Zion is Intruder, as is it's neighbor Dire Wolf. 2 mins from road. Totally choss though!!!! All of zion is loose, wide, and sandy ;-)

the 12d crack on Desert Gold looks fantastic at Red Rock, as does Seduction Line (definitely on the list for me once it cools off a bit).

Back to CA, the Conductor Crack across from Generator Crack is a good, stout little thing. Short Circuit or Circuit Breaker, can't recall which, the one behind Curry Village in the Valley is fun. Check out a few of the finger cracks at Snowshed at Donner Summit...Monkey Paws, Panic, etc...not exactly straight in jam cracks, but finger locks and stiff pulls...
