Boulder Crack 

A not-so hidden gem. A classic in the rough. Simply one of the best short routes in Josh, bar none. Need I say more?

I agree that this is clearly not a 3 star route. I also, however, agree that 0 stars should not be a bomb. I gave Nolina Crack at White Cliffs of Dover 0 stars, in order to keep it in perspective with what 1 star means (to me anyways). I don't think it's a bomb, it's a perfectly fine route but thoroughly unnoteworthy.

A.J. After a riveting experience on Tennis Shoe Crack which of these 6 star J-Tree classics of equivalent grade would you recommend: Fluff Boy, Funky Dung, or Wake Me When It's Over?

Routes of this length see frequent unplanned bivies, particularly during the shorter winter days from November through February. I would recommend that the well prepared climber bring: a flashlight, matches (or lighter), 27 power bars (cliff bars OK), toilet paper, gas mask (in case weapons of mass destruction are found lurking under this boulder), fleece, rain gear, umbrella, bivy bag, and of course, a bolt kit (in case you ever get up the nerve to lead Double Cross.

You can use the scale on the site easily enough. You always have to read in context. On this site, 0 stars is a bonb, 1 star is unremarkable, 2 stars is a great line, and 3 stars is a climb you consider to be a super-classic that you called all of your pals about that night. Every book and every author use different scales. By using the scale as published on this site, you can maintain consistency. That's better than putting what you think it should be on someother scale and then haggling over which scale is correct.

ive done bolder problems in the park that are taller....

Now this is the kind of verbosity that legends are made of.

PS cinco estrellas es mas bueno para mi.

After rehearsing the initial overhanging moves on toprope and fixing the first pitches, we were able to claim a victorious 1-day, completely free ascent. 18 hours car to car. The bar has been set.

Gee, I always thought you were supposed to start from the top and climb it down head first. I gotta try it going up I guess.

You guys joke but I've seen a group of guys thrashing about on this one while on top rope....Also the top anchor was about 6 feet below the top out.

I bouldered this with some tourists nearby the other day and they gaped and gawked like I was some kind of sorcerer. Wound up autographing a few boobs over it.
