I got a big and a small so I don't know, maybe that just makes them average size then. Or maybe it just depends on the day and which one is running the show

Hey Haas, I thought I had the puzzle solved. I was positive that you must have parked in the first pulloff past the tunnel instead of the 2nd pulloff. I was so psyched to come tell you where you screwed up but now I just read that you did park at the correct pulloff. Man, all I can say is that you didn't hike far enough to the left. You were right there for sure. You may have walked right underneath it. It starts on top of a big boulder.

thanks for the info, I'll have to check it out next time I'm down there. My dumb ass probably did just walk past it. By the way, what did you down rate it to? I'm looking for some harder cracks (besides the ones I need to return to and send cleanly) and thought this might be a good one.

I don't know man. I'll take 5.11d though. That's fine with me.
You should do Mr. Get It On Jones, man. It's a whole lot of fun, well protected, and a short approach.

Thanks, I'll check it out in the spring when I'm living down there

While talking about Souders Crack...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not for bolting every crack around, but when you get something that can't really be climbed on gear and has to be TR'd anyway...

I climbed this thing last weekend and now that I've actually seen it, I'd like to retract my idea about bolting this route. There is no reason to bolt this thing. It's a ton of fun too. My only question now is how do people with fat fingers make it through that crux section? Crimp the hell out of whatever they can find? I couldn't find the feet for that.

I'm a fat fingered person. I just barely get tips in there.

I've never even tried to fingerlock the crux. I just crimp the edge of the crack. Its only like 2 moves of "hard" climbing. The rest is pretty easy. Shit, I did it on TR after 2 years of no climbing, so it can't be too bad. And leading it wasn't really all that bad either, since my mind was in another place. Now I'm not sure what the hell I was thinking.....

Good idea. No bolts. I'd pull em and fill em.
