What's the best sport climb in the ditch? Maybe a better question is- what's the best bolted/fixed route in Yosemite?

The Best Bet arete and stuff at the Public Sanitation Walls are pretty rad. The aretes at the cookie are awesome

The ones on Killer Pillar, mostly because of the amazing setting.

Edited to say that I just clicked Caylor's link, which is to a route on Killer Piller. The one he likes is way to hard for me. I just barely made it up Bucket Brigade on TR.

Cables route on Half Dome! :-)
The first and still the most popular....
Maybe DQed because most people don't rope up, though.

Whoa Hankster!

That picture of Meat Grinder made me..... let's just say I'm off to the laundromat. Definitely a beautiful line.

Still....can't...type...because...of...overload...of....awesome.

p.s.: At least, if you slip while stradling the arete, you'll never have to shave your junk again. Not even after you scrape it off the granite. Maybe the route name has something to do with that fact.

Wheat Thin is pretty awesome (although one piece of gear makes it sane).

Totally fun is Underklingon.

Great Escape is more than a pitch, does that count?

If so, then Crest Jewel has got to be up there, with the extended start of course(Royal Arches, that is ;-).

Any recommendations for those things out at Taft?

Great Escape. The Killer Pillar routes are sweet action, but they're one pitch.

I had a lot of fun on Shipoopi. You didn't say valley so ......

Had a lot of fun up to the crux pitch on Golden Years. Would love to go finish that one.

Only made it 3 pitches up, and that 3rd pitch was brutal, but the great escape second pitch 11a was one of the best pitches I've climbed yet. The third kicked my ass, and I dogged my way up it, but all the moves are there if I can build up some endurance. Thanks Dan McDevitt, it must have been sweet working the first ascent. Great Route.

Is that fixed rope still crusting away on Golden Years? If so, it's been there at least 2 years.

Thanks for the Great Escape Dan, that's a keeper.

Surely you have other suggestions? The Drive-By is killer too.

Maybe my new favorite Yosemite sport climb.

I checked out Trick of the Tail and Superstition in the Upper Mecca cave. Trick is pretty rad. Feels like full on limestone climbing.
