This has nothing to do with butt cracks! Get your mind out of the gutter!

Some more crack to add to the stoke. This is either helping me make it through the rain...or making it worse. Can't decide which...probably both.

Third Pillar - Sierra granite stoke
Image

Bombs Over Tokyo - Tuolumne stoke
Image

Something at Trout Creek (Goooooood - but more a stembox than crack...does that count?) - Oregon stoke
Image

Lexington Tower - Washington stoke
Image

Lexington Tower - more WA stoke
Image

This thread is awesome! Nice one rhyang. And sweet pics everybody 8) 8)

edit: commentary

Coming in Indian Creek with no crack technique whatsoever was kind of a shock, but I ended up really loving it...
