Hey I am headed down to the Creek... I have climbed there before and am looking for areas with good 5.10 handcracks anybody out there know of walls with a selection of good "Easier" hand cracks? 2-3 friends or red to yellow BD Cam size. I would prefer to stay off the Super Crack wall.

Interestingly, there is is dearth of cracks that size in IC.

Lots of cracks have sections that size but very very few are that size continously. It's funny that there are .75 camalot cracks ripping up a wall for 150 unchanged. Same with 3 camalots.

For #2 though, all you really get is Bunny Slope for the long stuff.

There are endless cracks of all sizes out there and it doesn't take much to find them. Punch up something harder and work on your weak sizes if need be. It's a crack, so you can almost always put yourself on toprope and/or aid the whole way. That's part of what the Creek is all about. You sound almost ready to graduate from Supercrack Buttress.

Now in hi-res!

Check out the 'Best Routes for You in this area' feature (@ the top-left) at the Indian Creek homepage. If you search for 5.9-10d, you'll have a good list to start with. Most of the routes have a decent descriptions of crack size. Hope that helps!
