Punch Line
Maybe not the best sport climb, but one of the best sport-climbing stories.
And now that Hall of Mirrors has nice belays...

TKO is a bit more sporty than sport, but it's pretty good.

Empire at Mecca and Whicked Gravity on the Killer Pillar. Not a whole lot of great sport routes in the Valley for the most part. Toulumne and Senora is where its at...

Anybody ever repeat Scott Burke's Shock Waves 513b at Chapel??
Another SB route (although a bit slabby to be called a sport route) I've always wondered about is The Shining 5.12c on the Royal Arches.

So the bolts got replaced, but has the Shining ever been repeated? Likewise, another Burke-Barton route, Friday the 13th? Has anyone ever gone all the way to the top of that nasty one?

sounds as if "Sport Climb" needs to be defined.

This video of Eric Sanchez on Keep The Muscle Lose the Fat is kind of Cool. The knobby wall is ok. Meltdown is fun. This one looks sick.

Please don't use the words "Yosemite" and "sport climb" in the same sentence.
It makes me gag and want to sh#t my pants.

Checked out some of the climbing at Taft point yesterday- good stuff. I climbed Counterparts with Honnold a month ago- that route is really cool- some not too hard climbing to a hard boulder problem on the last pitch.

Ya, Central Pillar is so much better now that it,s bolted. It's bolted.....since when?
Since May! You seriously have not heard? Just bring 14 draws and anchor material. Bolts are close together. 7 feet apart in the run out spot, but you can bring a #2 that protects it well.

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

I'm adding a vote for Dan's route Great Escape and a second with Drive by Shooting
And I'm a detractor for anything to do with that dark, dank, bilbo baggins, soot blackened, 24 feet of glory, knobby wall.....can't believe that's on any list at all

Central pillar of frenzy is definitely much more fun with the bolts.
Thank you!
I heard it was bolted by two separate European parties, one from France and the other a combo Englishmen and a Spaniard. I can't believe they hand drilled that thing, without aiders!!! Thankfully the Mountain Shop donated the bolts and hangers for the project. Opened the climb up to so many more people.
I actually still take gear up with me, the bolts are kinda spread out, easily 10-15 feet between bolts in some sections. I used to take 3 #3's and 2 #4's for the 3rd pitch, now I take 1 of each and 26 quick draws.
