Ginger Cracks is a superb climb up a prominent crack system on Ginger Buttress. It has consistent 5.7-5.8 climbing on most of its pitches. The 5.9 crux is short and protected by a bolt, making the route perfect for breaking into the 5.9 grade. The bottom pitches all have bolted belays, making the descent easy. If you go to the top of Ginger Buttress, which is recommended, then you descend by Power Failure (5.10b) just around the corner from Ginger Cracks.

Below are weather averages from 1971 to 2000 according to data gathered from the nearestofficial weather station. The nearest weather station for both precipitation andtemperature measurements is HUNTSVILLE MONAST which is approximately 8miles away and has an elevation of 5,140 feet (555 feet lower than Skull Crack Canyon).Because the nearest station and this geographic feature may havedifferences in elevation and topography, the historic weather at the two separate locationsmay be different as well.

where β is a numerical parameter of value between 5 and 10 and d0 is the X-ray image width at the crack tip. The stress in this case is the thermal stress inside the mirror furnace, given by vertical and horizontal temperature gradients. The critical parameter κc to measure in the XRDI image is therefore the crack length L divided by X-ray image width d0 at the crack tip:
Comparing the strain field in false colours below the crack front, it is clear that most of the strain energy in the lattice was released as the crack bent rapidly and increased in length towards the left hand side in the X-ray image. The spatial extent of the strain field in the lattice decreased on the left hand side as well as on the right hand side of the crack C2. The lower decrease on the left hand side is most likely due to the deformation of the strain field during the development of the side crack.

The asymmetric lobes indicate the inclined 60 dislocations to be the origin of the strain. (a) Polars parallel and perpendicular to crack direction. (b) Polars at 45 to crack direction.
In a recent national television program on tsunami, attention was focused on the Great Crack in the southwest rift zone of Kīlauea. The size of the crack was presented as evidence that the south flank was breaking away from the island.
In a recent national television program on tsunami, attention was focused on the Great Crack in the southwest rift zone of Kīlauea. The size of the crack was presented as evidence that the south flank was breaking away from the island. The gaping fissure is impressive for its continuous length of 13 km (8 mi), width up to 15 m (50 ft), and depth of 20 m (66 ft). This feature, however, is the result of crustal dilation from magmatic intrusions into the rift zone and not from the seaward movement of the south flank. There is no evidence that the Great Crack is getting bigger at this time or that the island is tearing apart along this seam.
The Great Crack is one of a series of cracks, eruptive fissures, and cones that outline the southwest rift zone of Kīlauea Volcano. It is located toward the far end of the rift zone but does not extend to the seacoast. Exactly when the crack formed is unknown, and although it is continuous for a great length, all of it may not have been formed at the same time. There is some evidence that parts of it may have been formed above a large lava tube.
Where the crack is narrow enough that opposing walls can be compared, matching features fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. This suggests that a simple widening caused the crack. Opposite walls also have no vertical offset, so south flank subsidence did not influence the formation of the crack.
Similar, though shorter, wide cracks occur on the east rift zone. One, between Napau Crater and Pu`u `O`o, has existed for many decades, as did another east of Pu`u `O`o, now filled in with new lava flows. Thus, the Great Crack is not unique; it is simply longer than the others.
A glide crack has opened during the warm weather on a steep granite slope above Eagle Lake. It is on an east aspect around 7400 ft. This one of many such cracks across the forecast area. Due to the unpredictability of when these glide cracks may or may not release as glide avalanches, avoiding areas with glide cracks represents a wise course of action. Below is an animation of the glide crack photos in the series. The time step between each photo is 2 days.

Pitch 1: Climb the celebrated classic splitter hand/finger crack of Klahanie Crack, clip the chains and climb through the trees to a comfortable belay. (5.7)Pitch 2: Low angle rock kicks back to steep lay back and dinner plate flakes, ending in a tight v groove to the trees above. (5.8)Pitch 3: Climb the wide but easy crack you could use a #4 cam near the top, or just run it out. (5.6)Pitch 4: Flakes, finger cracks, and wide bolt protected layback angle up left to gain a broad treed ledge. Walk climbers left to the end of a treed ledge. (5.7)Pitch 5: Enjoy the climbing on the hands to narrowing fingers crack, but take a minute to take in your surrounding on this unique pitch. (5.8)Pitch 6: A well bolted slab. Traverse right ending at a comfortable belay. (5.8)Pitch 7: Steep. Transitioning corners open to easy terrain. (5.7)Pitch 8: Up and right. One last mover over a steep step. (5.6)
27crags, climbervoice, 8a and many others are amazing sites, but sometimes, expecially if you worked a lot to envision, bolt, clean routes or boulders, you want to monetize a little your efforts.
In your discussion you can edit and publish your own climbing topoguide, as a "paywall", a "destination page", requiring climbers their payment by credit card or paypal to access and read, even on SMARTPHONES (iphones, android phones, ...)
Adventure comes in hundreds of ways in Yosemite. Most of the time, the fun starts when something essential is forgotten. Leaving the head lamp, the water, or the topo can all lead to more adventure than planned. This fall taught me the importance of bringing and following the directions on a route.
Karst is a type of landscape where the dissolving of the bedrock has created sinkholes, sinking streams, caves, springs, and other characteristic features. Karst is associated with soluble rock types such as limestone, marble, and gypsum. In general, a typical karst landscape forms when much of the water falling on the surface interacts with and enters the subsurface through cracks, fractures, and holes that have been dissolved into the bedrock. After traveling underground, sometimes for long distances, this water is then discharged from springs, many of which are cave entrances.
Excerpted with permission from Crack Climbing: The Definitive Guide by Pete Whittaker (Mountaineers Books, 2020). This book is an incredible resource for crack climbers of all ability levels. Before diving into the world of donut jams, hand stacks, and chickenwings, Whittaker outlines his five top tips.
Crack climbing is climbing the spaces between and inside the rock. So, with all jams, you should try to fill those spaces as efficiently as possible. You therefore want to insert as much of the body part you are jamming with inside the crack before you even start doing any of the techniques needed to execute the jam itself.
When the part of your body that you want to jam with is inside the crack, you have to expand it to fill the space and make it stick. There are lots of different ways that this jamming and expansion can be achieved.
A rack of gear has lots of pieces of different sizes, from the smallest micronuts through to the biggest cams and Big Bros. Likewise, your body has lots of different size options available to insert into the crack, from the diameter of your little finger right through to the length of your whole body.
The same principle applies to jams. The more weight you put through a jam, the better it will stick (provided that your force of outwards pressure against the crack walls can match up to the weight you are putting through it). So, if you lean back, put your weight through it, and trust the jam, it will feel more positive. Maybe climbing with a car attached to you would in fact make it easier! 2ff7e9595c
