I'm looking for some thin fingers to thin hands crack in the northeast, anything from 5.8 to 5.10c maybe even 10d.
Closer to Burlington, VT the better.

Here are some great ones:
Vertigo -Cannon cliff (while you are there, do the great 1-pitch tips crack of Sticky Fingers)
Seventh Seal - Loose Lips, Whitehorse (Ethereal crack is also great tips 10d, Sleeping Beauty for diagonal 10c finger crack).
Nutcracker, and Last pitch of the Prow 10a, Cathedral Cliff
Bird's nest, They Died Laughing, and the Slot, Cathedral Cliff North end
Center Crack - Deer's Leep, VT
Black Jack Crack- Rumney
Fastest Gun- Poko Moonshine
Several routes at the Beer walls, Adirondacks, though they don't climb like pure finger cracks.
Recollections of Pacifica - Precipice at Acadia (several other fun finger cracks here, but far from Burlington)

North End at Cathedral Ledge has 4ish amazing finger/hand cracks. All singlepitch. The Slot, Bailsafe, They Died Laughing and Bird's Nest all in a row with fingerlocks and hands on each one, all .8-.10a. Plus plenty more to climb outside of the crowded north end ;)

In addition to the above excellent suggestions, look to Black Mountain way up in the Northeast Kingdom. Bikes and Ditches, Black Mamba, and Wild Black all feature some nice finger cracks in the mid 10s. ... and i second the thorn in Bolton, its barely any harder than the Rose. .... and since were talking sbout 11a s, Airation on Cathedral.......and since we're talking North Conway., upper Tranquility on the south butt of Whitehorse

- After spending the summer climbing in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and the Black Hills of SD I am quite certain that I will never intentionally climb rock at Cathedral again. Great ice climbing and mixed venue but just too damn slippery to be really enjoyable rock climbing....

North end is to slippery for my liking as well, but unfair to lump all of cathedral into that. Plus, it's a little cheaper and closer than the destinations you listed. Glad you had a good summer vacation

The Thorn is 30 mins from downtown Burlington, definitely worth getting on as much as you can

there are some nice finger cracks in val david i just remembered about. sceptre is a john turner classic, 5.9ish. not an impossible day trip from burlington and it would make for a memorable weekend if you have a passport or enhanced drivers license.
