Comprehensive List of North America's hard cracks, 5.13 and up?

Did the General project (huge roof crack) at the NRG ever get freed? I haven't heard anything about it since I first read about it some years ago.

Jesus, leading that while placing gear would be half the battle, you'd have to sew it up or be fine with the potential to deck in many places.

Calling the wide boys and those people who made a space net under crack house (I think??).

Mason Earle made a space net and used it for Trench Warfare IIRC, could have him ship it out :P

I’d exclude this one from your excellent list as the crack is around 12- followed by a V6 or 7 face crimping crux

Bit controversial since it was also bolted, but Turbo Trad at Palomas Peak, NM

Also have Century Crack, Black Mamba and the other WideBoyz white rim sends been included yet?

Didn't Hazel Findley redpoint Charlie at RRG? I think it was part of the Pretty Strong film.

I'd argue that that is an incorrect characterization of Zabba. There is a crack sequence as difficult as 12+. The face crux is about 12b. Crimp strength is not a limiting factor in sending the route.

Never Never Crack In WA deserves to be on the list. 

Edit: I now realize this is a 9yo thread....

Anyone talk about Royal Arches yet? Probably

Hmm interesting, not that I’ve come anywhere near sending, but i have had a lot more success on the crack part than the upper crux. I am not at all a good crack climber and can usually face climb a little harder than what you’re describing.

Does anyone have any info on this crack? It looks worth a trip.

Unfortunately all I know is that it's somewhere in the Meadow river gorge. I used the wayback machine on Pat Goodman's blog which shows that once upon a time there was a video of him working on it, but apparently his vimeo account has been deleted. :(  Also in the interests of this thread, using the wayback machine I found this thumbnail of a former video of a mystery 5.13 crack:

I've been working it a lot over the summer, it's notoriously wet all the time but every now and then it dries enough for a serious burn or two.

Though I'm sure it's more likely the blank face above the crack that is the actual 5.13 part.

I've been on this one, it's not a crack at all, just a super thin seam and a V7 boulder problem, you place gear above or below that seam but can't get anything in it.

I'd love to get the spray down on this, it looks amazing.
