Those two problems also have a special place in my heart. Old Dogs New Trick is just beautiful, one of the best crack problems anywhere. And Life Without Parole....that problem always inspired me too. I remember going out there and stuffing my feet above my head, then hanging there not knowing what to do. That Picture of Scarpelli on Trip Master Monkey in Heel and Toe would be on my mind. I would try to be Scarpelli on Trip Master Monkey, but I would inevitably fail. I would lay down on the ground (crash pads were for pussies) and imagine the day I could climb stuff like that. Oh, the memories.
My favorite one though? Too many to chose just one. I really like It, near Vedauwoo, and Big Bobs Big Wedge in Joshua Tree. Also Whispers of Wisdom in RMNP, but I haven't done that one yet. Then there is this crack I tried for a really long time. It would piss me off because I was convinced that it wasn't above me, but nonetheless I would fail on it every time I tried. I was baffled. Then one day when I was out there I happened upon the necessary knowledge to climb it and I unlocked the secret. All that failure made the success so much sweeter. Plus, I had to learn something new to do it. It doesn't have a name that I know of, otherwise I would spray about it too.
(edited to add my favorites)

Loose Change in Squamish is probably the best line I have ever seen though I wasn't able to finish it due to lack of time and because it is freakin hard.
Under My Thumb and Mo Mangos at haycock are awesome.

In reply to: That f--- up looking thing where the road curves?
Thats the one. The crack on the right side of that wall. After reading Allen Watts thoughts on crack climbing in that article "A Hard Crack is Good to Find", I felt retarded. :roll:

I've never really thought about this before and its making my head hurt.
Maybe Comet at Rocktown? Mmmmm super precise overhanging crimpers.
But, I think Pocket Rocket at New Joes . Yeah, definetly Pocket Rocket. But thats kind of a one move wonder. Pa-yow! and your done. So probably the Mortal Combat slab at HP40. Oh yeah! slabbin' the arete with enough nastiness to make things spicy. But,. then.........

Wow haven't posted on here in... a long time? Had to get through cancer before I could start climbing but I must agree Mortal Combat at HP40 is pretty sick. Hoped on and hoped off that problem last weekend, just dont have the balls for it :) But my favorite problem is Groove Rider V3 at HP40 for the funny balance issue. Love it love it love it!

Surprisingly nobody has said Midnight Lightning--which is awesome if for no other reason than each move is as difficult as the next. I would also put up a vote for Arch Druid (Druid Stones, Bishop) High Plains Drifter (Buttermilk), New Religion (Hueco) and finally, Baba Hari Dass (Squamish). Great problems all, keep up the posts, it makes me want to go roadtripping.
