I am super interested in climbing cracks and off-widths.

I am a total beginner at this style, and I am also poor, so I'm trying to put together a list of crack climbs in the southern wasastch (I live in Provo, so Utah country/Salt Lake County) that are bolted or are just boulders. Basically, a mega list of non-trad crack/off-width climbs. I would love to get working on cracks before buying trad gear, and I can't be the only one! 

Anyone who would be willing to send me climbs or info would be super appreciated. I'll put everything together and share it, of course.

Google Sheet

I am also interested in climbing with anyone who wants to help out a noob lol. All my climbing friends are gym climbers lowkey

Emotional Geometry in AF is some limestone crack climbing. You can face climb it too which is nice when you're learning.

There is a boulder called the off width boulder in the secret garden in LCC. It is great off width practice. You’ll want some pads if you have never climbed it before and maybe a spotter

There must be some cracks with fixed anchors or sport routes near enough that you could top rope them

Cannabis Crack in American fork is a fun bolted crack. Definitely dirty, but could help scratch the itch

When you're warmed up on that you can go over to Field of Screams. If memory serves you have to use some finger locks on that.

Spawning over at The Watch Tower has locks. Then you can wander around the corner and do Spinoza. It has some crack climbing on it.

In LCC there is A Little Razz Ma Tazz and All that Jazz. You could boulder out on. Remember Merrill didn't use tape when he did it.

There's always Trench Warfare if they have the net up.

it's dead easy to TR Bong Eater. That will definitely polish one's skills.
