Ascent Notes for: Y2K - 5.10a Average Rating : 3.94/5

Really fun climbing

more fun when the weather is warm.

One move wonder... I would call the .10a move 5.9 for anyone with long arms. Pro is there when you need it, with a hint of spice here and there. Overall totally awesome route!

I thought this was a great climb. We did all 4 pitches. The roof is pretty straight forward and with a bolt right on the lip. The rest of the pitch was beautiful. P2 is sweet as well. The traverse pitch is easy, and the last pitch is definetly worth doing. With the warnings to be careful on the rap from P4 you should be able to avoid problems.

Fun mellow climbing. A great first pitch. Watch for the ropes getting stuck on the first rap.

This route was a great place to catch some morning rays and warm up before heading to Dark Shadows. We did all 4 pitches. The holds were surprisingly positive and pro was sufficient throughout as long as you are familiar with ways to utilize natural features(slinging horns, threading plates, etc). We had a rope snag on the first rap from the top of P4, but easy to climb up on the easier rock to the climber's left of the route to free it before downclimbing. Other than the well-protected crux move on P1, we felt that Dark Shadows was the more challenging of the two routes. I led P2 and P4.

led pitches 2 and 4. contrary to most other people's opinion i felt that the pro on the 4th pitch was a little sketchy, good route though

We also only did first 2 pitches due to guidebook recommendations and increasing chill during a shady winter morning ascent. Led both pitches and simul-belayed two pards --kept me relatively warm!

1st pitch is the money pitch. The rest was fun.

We only did pitch one and two - it was really cold and windy. I led the second pitch - it was so cold and windy that the snot was blowing far out of my nose with wind and it was hard to move :) Both pitches were sweet - there is only one hard move on the first pitch, the second pitch feels more exposed.
