This poor bumbly asks for a little advice and T4L tries to rip him a new as#@&%e -- rip everybody a new as#@&%e. A bit of ridicule would be fine, or some honest advice.
Tell the truth T4L, you are the illegitimate offspring of a Paco and Donny anal f*#kfest; you sure sound like you were born with a mouthful of sh#t.

If I had one day in the Valley, I'd probably do Snake Dike. You get that great approach hike past Nevada and Vernal falls. You get a way too fun eight pitch climbing route. You get to stand on top of Half Dome. You get to look back down on the whole valley from the "rim". All that and you only need a rope and a handful of nuts. What more could you ask for? The topo? Yeah, that's free too!
The other option is the ultra classic Royal Arches Route. It has many of the same positives, but the descent puts a damper on the experience.
Whatever you do, make sure you get onto something tall. None of this single pitch stuff you can do at your home crag. Get to the top of something big!

KMA did you not read the thread? How do you judge Mr. Montoya so harshly? Paco was a lover, not a hater. He was merely an unwilling receiver of hate from the ignorant! Let us not blame him for the limited acceptance of those who simply chose not to accept him into their cold, bigoted hearts. Paco was a simple man with a delightfully compicated mind, and a passion for bouldering. Let him remain in the soft and gentle light which mirrored the manner in which he lived his life.

I really enjoyed Moby Dick Center...nice crack, finger jams at the start to off-width at the top. Rated 10a but might be a tad harder according to some people.

I suspect this is just a troll and that someone is continuing to instigate.
If you are really going toi the valley you will be buying at least ONE freaking guide book- how else do you plan to FIND the climbbs? Last time I checked there were no signs or name plates at the base of any of the cliffs.
ST is a fine book, if you already have Reids book, just chase the stars like everyone else does, there are usually there for a reason.
OK- you may now resume personally attacking one another.

btw- Mr (Ms?) hopeful climber:
If you are hoping that you can climb some 5.9 or 5.10, but have never been to Yosemite, either start on some 5.7-5.8 stuff or climb on borrowed gear (all the better to bail off of...).
Nutcracker (a 5 pitch 3 star 5.8) is great place to start if you are there midweek. If you feel good w/ that go do Little John Right on El Cap (also 5.8, 3 pitches) maybe a slight sandbag), then go up in grade from there.
Sometimes 5.9 is just that, but sometimes 5.9 is something to tell tales about on annomymous internet forums...

Yo hopeful - you should just give up the idea of trying to do the Valley classics and instead just hang out with the cream of the crop here at the deli. Get buzzed and talk about the routes you've done...oh wait that won't work will it? Well perhaps you can be of some use if you show up and buy the beer.

Satan - You may be onto something...I'm sure the rangers have a stash of 10's and under...let's find out more.
As for the rest of you why don't you bugger off and realize if you need to climb 10 and under here, you don't f*#kin' belong! Go back to whatever sorry excuse for a crag you call home and perish the thought of ever entering this fair valley; nay do not despoil the beauty everywhere around us with thy terrible countenance. The likes of you are better left for the beasts...

I think the royal arches descent is WAY easier than the Snake Dike approach. At least it's downhill, and the views of HD and merced canyon are awesome!
