Routes as trad in Yosemite Valley

second pitch not recomended

1. 105 ft (5.10c)

2. 50 ft (5.11a)

Yosemite's best 5.10 crack apparently!!! It is outstanding, but very challenging, it will test all of your crack climbing skills and is a very difficult onsight. There is finger locks, ring locks, double finger locks, hands, fists, o/w, laybacks. An awesome climb.

The off-width and hand crack just to the right of Stone Groove. DBB on top.

The first pitch is ok with some finger cracks. The top pitches is the money with an amazing hand crack in a dihedral leading up to an easy o/w section - bring a C4 #4 to lower the spice, but you can do without. An easy albeit airy traverse is your finish.

Sent by Louise Shepherd in 1981 or 1983, one of the first Aussie female ascents at this grade.

An epic roof climb that has been soloed by many pros.

Solo up knobs and move right up an awkward OW corner. #3 or 4 Camelot useful. Step left to gain comfortable stance before blasting up perfect splitter fingers getting progressively more difficult until you pounce for the victory jug

Louise Shepherd's impressive 1981 onsight was the first Aussie female ascent at this grade.

A fingertips crack. Small bumps for feet, ultra-technical movement and finicky gear (the largest piece is a ¾” TCU).

A classic Yosemite wide crack climb. A slightly overhung crack starts with stacks and finishes with an exciting squeeze chimney.

A three bolt anchor is accessible by walking around the back side of the Generator Crack boulder.
