In reply to TParker22:
Just thinking about Stangage, we have:
- Surgeon's Saunter for solid VS hand jamming (the Direct at HVS is a toughie and the independent moves aren't cracky IIRC)
- Terrazza Crack for top-end HVS crackiness. Finger/hand/neither stuff, steep.
- Some jamming cracks right of Right Hand Tower, tough-VSish.
- Exodus/Deuteronomy etc. Classic HVS jamming cracks, a convenient spot to get a whole load practice. Some are reasonable, one of them is a nightmare!
- Dalesman (not as much hand jamming as you'd like...so hard!)
- Titanic Direct. Great, varied climbing including a steep hand crack
- Count's Crack. Best VS crack on the edge. The odd fist might be useful too.
- Surprise. This is the hardest jamming crack in the world. Avoid.
We're only getting towards the Plantation here so it would take a while to go on. In general, at HVS and below they tend to be hand cracks rather than fingers, E1 is the standard grade for straight forwards finger cracks with solid jams and good gear. Below that grade thin cracks tend to have other holds and aren't really finger cracks as such.
