That crack is actually a good one. Placements aren't super simple, it traverses just enough to let you know how you can cluster on lead that way, and how things can get wierd cleaning. Plus, its short. Right V crack on short wall. (No nailing, of course)
Free climbers get right of way, of course, but its not that busy on that crack.
Whats funny is the stances, etc. The crack is fine.
That's where I've taken people, anyway. Plus, there is a bolted boulder somewhere in Josh that you could try first. Not sure where...

Goof Proof Roof.
2 hour approach, p1 wonky head ladder (or crumbly nut placements, your choice), p2 exposed nailing under a roof, no-pro free climbing to the anchors. Big air rap from p2, or more crumbly mixed aid and free to a walkoff. Awesome views. No crowds. Goes clean at C4F (?).
Now, that's a lot more demanding than a practice run on Lost Highway, but if you're looking for a 'serious' answer, there you go.
On the other hand, you could listen to Kate, who's soloed a few walls on El Cap, and take it easy to begin with. (You should still do GPR eventually, though. It really does have great exposure and views that go on forever.)

Unfortunately only one and a half...then two days of rapelling hell, but it was still fun. 8^) ... fun not bein' dead, that is :shock:
FWIW I tried to free right V crack once, felt like an aid climb! Lossa hangin' and swearin', and excuse makin', as I recall.

The Pirate and Insomnia -- cracks at Suicide.
Any of the more 'splitter' cracks at Josh: Tax Man, O'Kelleys, Coarse and Buggy, etc.
There are some practice aid routes at Mt. Rubidoux in Riverside.
