Grade of Hypothetical Crack Climb

GabeOwrote:

Generic is not pure splitter.  The crux is a very distinct pod that is particularly hard for shorter folks, as they have to balance way up over their feet in order to reach high enough to get the next jam.  Without this pod I think Generic would be consensus 5.9 at the Creek.

GO

This is true, but just off the top my head, Supercrack, 3 a.m. Crack, Gorilla Crack and Warmup Handcrack (at Reservoir) are all long, vertical splitter hands, perhaps on the bigger side 

The crack and grade are irrelevant. It really depends on your hand size, brah. Haven’t you camped at ic?

Generic Crack

I found generic to be harder than IHC and super crack. The pods and the sheer length. Blue sun is for sure easy for the grade. 

If it’s perfect hands with zero variation in size the length of the crack would determine the difficulty me thinks. Is it as long as my butt crack or the nutt cracker? 

This neck of the woods, a 2” splitter would get 5.8…. Even ones that lean one way or another to make it more tricky only gets 8+. But didn’t OP say he is going to JTree?  It might only be an 8 there too.

Personally, perfect hands for me are 1” cracks, but I don’t think we are talking that size….
