The Crack

Start matched in an awkwardly angled under cling at the bottom right of this problem. Find a way to get over to the slopey jug on the left and from here use a fingerlock/pocket, another slopey jug, and some dynamic movement to get to the top of the problem. The committing move over the top is a fitting finish.

A classic V5 variation eliminates the fingerlock/pocket on the right and the jug on the right to only use the left most holds (and the under cling) to get up this problem.

Pat yourself on the back when done - it's a milestone problem.

This boulder is in what is arguably Stoney's most famous and populous area. If you park on Topanga Canyon Rd and enter from the main entrance it's a straight walk down the trail probably about 4 minutes. You'll first see the giant Turlock boulder directly on the trail and right around the other side of it to the left is B1 Boulder which has The Crack on its right side.
