What would be super cool though...
Have a master crack sending machine (yeah, a real climber) take couple of days to show the rest of us how it's done.

What about that "Days of Rage" route over at Fortress? That thing looks like it has some nice jams!

I completely suck at crack climbing... and for this reason can totally cope with the original question / comment. As for me, if you remove ALL face holds (by not having any) then I seem to do a lot better at NOT face climbing the "thing".
Tony's x-mas tree (at bob marley) should give you SOLID pros, solid tech, and no face holds to think about.

Thanks for the reccomendations everyone. I went to indian creek and tried my best to climb crack attack. a full day later and i still can't crack climb, but i'm getting closer, and humbler. what a line! i didn't know we had splitters like that in the gorge. if only the approach wasn't so heinous. it's worth the trip out there though.

Theres a few splitters, but that one has nothing at all on the face to help you.
Splitters rock.

Don had it right, go to the New. Its not anything like Utah splitter climbing but its as close as we have in the area.
