Roof cracks

Does anyone have any recommendations for roof cracks in Joshua tree. Or even general Southern California area 

What grade range and size are you looking to climb?

Any grade range, and fist to hand cracks 

Rollerball and more monkey than funky are mostly hands. Castaway fits the bill too but it ends in a wide crack. If you walk around hidden valley campground, there are a couple handfuls of bouldering roof cracks to climb

Big Bob's Big Wedge comes to mind: mountainproject.com/route/1…

Pigpen (V4) in JTree is also worth a mention. While it isn't pure jamming, it is still a roof crack, and an accessible classic worth seeking out.

River of life at El Cajon mountain is likely the best roof crack in socal. Very sandbagged at 11d but outstanding, definitely the Separate Reality of the region 

Rice cake roof, super roof, crime of the century, big bobs big wedge, grit roof, pigpen, more monkey than funky, monkey buisness, roofing buisness, comfortably numb, maneater, morongo man

Hobbit Roof and Trashman Roof are a couple smaller and easier roof cracks. 

Across from Stoney point in The Garden of the Gods is a 5.11+ hand crack called Martian Landing. In Santa Barbara at Lizards Mouth there is “Worst Idea of the Century” crack and “The 5.11 crack” and at the Brickyard there is “Cathulu Crack”. These are all bouldering routes. 

The Nose at Gibraltar Rock, Santa Barbara.  Checks in at the relatively moderate grade of 5.11a.

I haven't done it myself, but my friend has photos of himself hanging from a hand jam mid crux and removing his trousers!

I know of a couple good crack boulders at Black Mountain:

5.10+ hands roof crack at Velvet Ridge. It’s in the guidebook, not on MP

Roadside Wide Crack at Lower Basin 

Permaculture (blue / V3-V5) at the Western Slope - stemming dihedral to widening roof crack. Never tried it myself, looks wild

It's a bit hot over here in the Inland Empire but this is supposed to be immaculate:
