Prep routes for Levitation 29?

Are there any short-approach 1 or 2 pitch cracks at RR that are similar to the crux crack pitch on L29? Would like to give one of them a whirl first before hiking all the way out and climbing 4 pitches, just to find out I'm not ready. I can crimp and slap slopers for days, but jamming is my nemesis. I figure less than 2% of my climbing has ever been spent on cracks.

And as a related question - as a relative crack neophyte with large but sensitive hands, are tape gloves recommended/necessary on L29?

there's almost no jamming on that route. it's an overbolted sport route. go climb some hard 5.11s on white rock in calico/sandstone quarry and you'll be fine.

Then I'm good, no worries :)

the first pitch has the hardest (and best) crack climbing on the route.

If you're ever looking for a crack workout then run laps on The Fox. It's a session of every jamming style imaginable in one 20 meter pitch.
