Take a look at my reply. see the little face? that means I was joking. Of course I've heard of those areas! It doesn't take very much effort to know of well known (dare I say, "world class"??) areas.
Pick up any climbing rag, watch a video and you'll easily know of these areas. Not to mention crack climbing destinations.

I'm pretty sure that angry's question was a rhetorical one...he's kinda like Jesus. (answers a question with a question)
I'm pretty sure it was Socrates who answered questions with questions, though maybe slightly more passive-aggressively than Jesus would have.

"Why don't you want to drink the tea?"
"Why don't YOU want to drink the tea?!"

Why is there tea at all?
Edit: sorry, I was a bit off-base. Jesus was an appropriate example, just not the originator, which wasn't CT's point. I got ahead of myself in my initial comment.

Never read any of the climbing rags? Never heard stories around a campfire about this way rad trad climbing destination? Never seen photos of spectacular splitters and thought to look at the caption below them?
In all likelihood, truth_stillfree is a gym climbing guide, so give him a break.

1. first pic is "Welcome to Ol Kentuck," 13a at the Red.
2. Watch it yo, that's my woman yer talking about. And yes, that is New Yosemite.
3. I was looking for a good pic of Rock Wars, couldn't find one; right on!
Bottom line is, good cracks exist back east. Yet most easterners still get their asses kicked at the Creek. heh.

Different, and not as concentrated as somewhere like the Creek, but still, excellent cracks nonetheless.
All that aside, I'm wondering if the OP has time to guide me on some climbs at his usual gym crag. What would something like that lighten my pocketbook, and should I include a tip?
