Post up your favorite Co finger cracks. Looking for some new ideas. Places like Eldo seem to have a short section of fingers somewhere on the climb. The longer the finger crack the better!

The top of Aerial Book is awesome.

Max Factor (Vedauwoo is close enough to Co) is awesome too

Finger Lickin at Lumpy is good - done that
Pressure drop next door is pretty good, but hard to classify as a fingercrack

Zip code and Practice Wall in eldo are decent, but most Eldo seems to be corners

Is Sphinx Crack still closed to climbers?

Unfortunately I believe it is

Near Leadville. Boulder problem. V8, I'm told. Steep, bad feet, precision stabbing to locks.

Women's Work and Soft Parade, both at Vedauwoo
Edward Humid Hands looks sick too, but I haven't been on it yet.

The 10b variation to Turkey Foot Crack is really good

Soft Parade is most assuredly not a finger crack. Good suggestion on Womans Work though.

The south platte is fairly stacked if you are willing to drive and like washboards.

One that hasn't been mentioned is the roadside Candelarias Crack in BoCan. It's only a couple moves but it keeps your attention. It's only a foot or two higher than what I feel is safe to boulder, bring extra pads.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
