| I can't believe that no one has mentioned "They Died Laughing" at Cathedral. Sure, the location is not ideal as some of the other stuff on this list. But in terms of awesome jamming, protection reliability, and ease of access, its one of my favorite 5.9's anywhere!

That's a fact, David! Love that route and it's neighbor, "Eagle Point Crack".
And to reiterate what Derek D. said about the Vermont cracks...all great routes, and worth the visit if in the area.
Gunks--Resistance, Persistence, Lost City Crack, Ants' Line, and Ken's Crack.
Green Mt. Breakdown, Old Town, and that really great 5.9 to the left of Wafer Step...can't recall the name. All at the Precipice, Acadia. |

| It's short, but it's pretty sweet. Double Helix at Rose Ledge.
| Double Helix (aka Rikert's Corner) is the line on the left. Stetson Stumble (5.8) is the line on the right.

| 5.9 left of Wafer Step? Is that Recollections of Pacifica?
I have never been on Pacifica but I have been on Return To Forever and it is great. Connecticut Cracks is good too, though not one continuous crack. |

Yeah, Pacifca. I wouldn't really call Pacifica a crack climb. Yeah, it has a crack at the start, but the crux is on the slabby part up above. |

| Old Town and They Died laughing are both great. Good suggestions. I am sure we are missing a lot of the obvious ones.
Hey Derek,
Sounds good, lets make it happen in the spring. I will show you mine if you show me yours ; ) |

That is a great starter list of classic ADK cracks. NH locals may protest this, but I think that the Dacks have the best collection and concentration of crack climbs in the Northeast.
A few more favorite ADK crack climbs.
Butterflies are Free to Partition; Washbowl Cliff.
Best 5.9 linkup around, 2 pitches. First pitch has nice 5.9 hand crack, 2nd pitch is amazing 5.8+ handcrack in a huge dihedral.
Octoberfist (5.10+), Upper Tiers, Poko
Way-obscure due to location, but superb. Not too tall (60 feet?) but sustained and steep. Crux is a green Camalot section in a slight bulge.
White Knight (12a) Spiders Web
Soooooo good. Basically everything else at the Web deserves to be at the top of this list as well. |

| There was a super cool thin crack at Bolton called Footloose, I think it may be closed now but it's at the base of the obvious biggest headwall close to Rt. 89. There's also a crazy roof crack in a giant boulder right next to it. |
