North America's classic roof crack ticklist
|
What is the the definitive tick list of all of North America's most classic roof cracks? my initial thoughts... 5.11: More Monkey than Funky 5.12: Separate Reality, Colchuck Reality/Full Tilt, My Little Pony 5.13: Zombie Roof, Desert Gold, The Crackhouse, The Monument |
|
Are you only including boulders if they're long enough to be routes? |
|
5.14: Century crack and probably the crucifix project |
|
Trench Warfare 5.12+ LCC, Utah Century Crack 5.14 Canyonlands, Utah |
|
There should be a special category for the "Reality routes". Separate Reality (the OG) Desert Reality (as a part of Desert Gold) Dixie Reality Arkansas Reality Colchuck Reality Bobcat Reality Etc... |
|
The Owl Roof in Yosemite for sure. 5.12 |
|
Would Paisano be somewhere in the mix? I'm assuming that a route like Foops, although undeniably a roof - 'Spoof Roof' - doesn't qualify as a 'roof crack'. |
|
I'd put my vote in for Heaven 5.13. Can't really beat that view |
|
Le toit de Ben |
|
Tokopah reality. More of a flake than a true splitter but it’s still pretty mega! |
|
The Great Roof 13b/14-? |
|
Grand illusion! 13b/c |
|
Hands Across America 5.12+ at the Tennessee Wall. |
|
Friday the Thirteenth, pitches 2&3, at the Voo. |

My Little Pony is the hammer and I am the nail. One of the most dope things I have ever done is punt to the moon on this roof. So fucking cool, please come project it with me. |

Cranner Rock Roof Crack 5.13a Sweetwater Rocks, Wyoming |

How steep does it get at the steepest point? This somewhat raises a question of what defines a roof crack - how steep and how long a roof section needed to qualify. |
