Route descriptions sometimes mention a hueco system (of cracks maybe)? What does this mean?
Thanks,

In the Routes section of the site, go to Utah/St George/Zion National Park/Kolob Canyon.

There are pix of huecos there.

Welcome to the Board Wendy!

Hueco = BIG Pocket. Hard to protect; bring BigBros.

Climb safe!

The V scale (or Hueco scale) is the grading system used for boulder problems. See http://www.rockclimbing.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=1476&forum=16
