Are there any cracks in the red that can be climbed via setting up a top-rope without having to lead it first? Some of us were thinking we might try some crack climbing but none of us lead trad. A friend thought there were a few in indian creek...any suggestions?

Welcome to your roots.

I don't know the answer to your questions but I would recommend taking someone out with you who has climbed cracks. Sometimes it is nice to reinvent the wheel, but sometimes it is nice to get a little heads up.

OH, and rhino says malf moon might be a good place. have you tried a search on the online guide?

i found a list of 50 but am too lazy to search through all of them.

Theres very little for an anchor on Half Moon. You need a second rope just for the anchor.

Princess Arch might be a good spot for you.

Thanks...I will try and do a search on the online guide...did you just type in Toprope Cracks?

Yeah I know I am foaming at the mouth for some Trad climbing...love sport but...well you know.
