I had two thoughts looking at that route in my prime.
1) I could lead that
2) I will never try.

Anyone familiar with the BY also know about Vertigo in the Black Hills Needles. Vertigo was the 11+ run out test piece in the Needles a place full of run out test pieces. I am curious about the comparison. I think the BY is more run out but I am not that familiar. It was put up by Kevin Bein and a local crew of hardmen in 1979 I believe.Vertigo is the formation on the right of the large formation in the middle of the picture. It is kind of like a large boulder sitting on a pedestal so overhanging all the way around in the middle of the formation.

I believe it is actually on the right of your photo . . . the two routes are not comparable due to the length of the BY.

What about the crux pitches? Are all the pitches on the BY as run out as the crux?

Vertigo may be technically more difficult but the BY contains more runout climbing.

Regardless I am sure that it is a proud day for the climber that does either one of them. Not that I would know.

The route was shot by a photographer.....don't want to rain on the party. If it's cool with the team I will post shots I have, otherwise I gotta respect the team and their effort.

I like how one dude on the comment section says:
"I guess if you're used to soloing, this route wouldn't be too bad."
No, not too bad.........

So cool.... Lonnie is fun to watch, a lot like JB was. So smooth, effortless and powerful all at the same time.
Mike: B&Y looks like this. The 11 is well protected, the runout 10+ is steep and the knobs fail. And it has an upper pitch of 10 something, that the Gonome tells me is really weird and hard. ..... I have no first hand knowledge of it.. I only stand at the base and look up at that baby.

Have not climbed the Bachar/Yerian. Have climbed Vertigo. I vote for B/Y as more serious, sustained climbing.

Every pitch is a horror show.
