This series may be the best tutorial on crack technique I've seen. It's crazy it doesn't have more views.
Very cool set up. Is there any site you have posted the plans to build this crack training wall?
The guys over at Quality Adventure LLC built this crack wall. Hit them up, they can probably help answer questions! www.qacustomvans.com/
This is an awesome series- thanks. Why do most people use tape instead of crack gloves?
Aaron, Thanks, glad you like it!
As to gloves, two reasons for tape vs gloves.
1) Cost, a roll of tape is around $3-4 and if you build your gloves well it is not uncommon to get a couple months of use out of them VS paying $30+ for crack gloves.
2)Fit, Crack gloves are only available in a handful of sizes and often do not provide as much coverage as one would like. By using tape you are able to make a glove that is custom to your hand resulting in a much better fit and you can customize how much coverage you need (think gloves for Offwidth vs thin hand and finger cracks).
