If you had to pick top 3-5 v0-v2 boulders with crack climbing style what would you recommend. Wanting to really work my crack tech. Only in the park for 1 full day. Proximity to each other is a big win also if there is a concentration of maybe not as good climbs that would be almost as good as the 10 star route in the middle of nowhere.

Left of Trashcan Rock is a nice collection of mini-cracks, mostly wide.

Kind of the definitive list from Russ. A TR might be nice for some things like the Nixon Cracks. Just high enough to get mess up if you blow the top. If you have a rope and a partner, that opens up a lot more opportunities. Enjoy.

Russ' list is excellent. Some of his recommendations are slightly taller than one's average boulder problems...but all have been done routinely as boulder problems by some.

I think it might help to clarify what level you're comfortable at. For example, if you're looking to get solid on 5.9 stuff (which, despite the rating when compared to sport climbs of similar difficulty, would establish you as competent), you're better off probably bringing a rope and hoping on longer but easier stuff.
