Can anyone suggest any areas with a high number of crack climbing boulder problems?

Boat Rock (outside ATL) has a few.

Funny, Ive never really thought about it, but crack climbing boulder problems are a bit more scarce for some reason. Seems like the way that sandstone boulders form, there just seems to be more faces than cracks I guess. Boatrock is granite, and as the previous poster said, it has some cracks.

I would assume they are rarer because boulders are probably formed from cracks splitting rocks apart so if there was still a crack there it would more likely still be a wall of rock.

Stone Fort in TN has some really nice finger crack problems.

Thanks for all the input. I figure the same logic as y'all with the boulders originating from cracks in the larger rock walls, I was just hoping there might be some areas that I can keep fresh on crack climbing while my partner is in Africa this winter.

Plus they are usually not long enough to offer any true technique practice.... (although a move or two is better than nothing I suppose)
