from what I remember that hand crack was more of an off-widthCrankmas wrote:sandy's ass cherry- the moves are redundant though the access is easy,try the hand crack next door as well
best crack routes
I wouldn't call face up to that crack a 'crack route' but it is fun. Kind of reminiscent of sundial crack at looking glass, just a few moves in the crack. Otherwise the routes are totally different.
No one likes the routes up at Muscle Beach? I guess that stuff is too wide for what the poster was looking for. I went up there last year and plan on going back soon as it warms a bit. I thought there were some routes that were wide hands without too much ow. Maybe I'm wrong. I do know there are quite a few short cracks that you could scramble.

It's been a long time since I've climbed (it seems that way). It's even been a longer time since I postef to the board. I been freezing my ass up here in Michigan waiting for this mini-ice-age to end.
It seems like every year there is a request for recommended easy trad. I am glad, this gives me a ticklist for the season
.
The ruotes mentioned so far include some of my favorite ones. But it missed others. Here are some routes to add to the already mentioned ones. I've included some routes easier than what the original post requested, because I think they are worth doing.
Lady Slipper - Emeral City/Global Village:
The Shining ( 5.8 )
Father & Son ( 5.6 )
Vision ( 5.7 )
Jake's Flake ( 5.8 )
Pebble Beach:
Environmental Impact ( 5.7 )
Dip Wall:
Green Eggs ( 5.7 )
Ham (5.7)
Star-Bellied Sneeches ( 5.8 )
Fortress Wall:
Bombs Bursting ( 5.8 )
Snake ( 5.8 )
American Crack ( 5.4 )
Route 48 ( 5.5 )
Bed Time for Bonzo ( 5.6 )
Calypso I ( 5.7 )
Calypso II ( 5.6 )
Calypso III ( 5.2 )
Blue Runner ( 5.9- )
Jewel Pinnacle:
Diamond in The Crack ( 5.6 )
Most of the routes mentioned are in the old crags. I would be interested to hear more about high quality trad ruotes (easy to moderate) in the newer crags (Southern, Muier, etc). It would be cool to have a summary of all the recommended ruotes once the post thread settles.
I can't wait go down there soon and plug some gear or even clip bolts.

In most other sports you need one ball.
