I don't remember Laceration being much of a finger crack. All these routes (the moderate ones) that are being mentioned are finger crack in size, but do you don't have to get pure finger locks to climb them right? Many are finger tip/layback/sidepull things.

The only jamming I did on Laceration was hands,but I was using the face mostly
Would be a cool route to just jam. I liked it.It was way better than synergy.

yes... Rebar is a fun finger crack. the finish left me winded/desperate/scrambling/etc. it is all there though. also, Hen's Nest has a some nice finger cracks. there is Finger Lickin Good, clean, runout, nice. you can see a bit of it on the left side of danny's sultans of stem photo. sultans has some good fingers in the upper section, but is mostly hands. aw hell, check Lunatic Fringe too, it has a bit of everything. sultans, finger lickin good, and lunatic fringe are all within 20 feet of each other and are well worth getting your feet wet.

Finger Lickin' Good is the third most sustained finger crack in the Red?! Heck-far! I almost ONSIGHTED that thing.!

Truly, I used to think I sucked at fingercracks. Then I started nibbling at five-ten and before I knew it I had climbed six .10s, all fingercracks. Cruising Lane, Social Butterfly, Finger Lickin' Good, Headstone Surfer, The unnamed .10 at Emerald City and Vector Trouble. Fingercracks are way easier than handjamming in my opinion.

I think fingercracks are more intuitive. That whole thumb jive in handjamming is a freakin mystery.
