Description
Stone Hill's Bachar-Yerian!?
Crack to sustained, runout face on immaculate rock, Why Think? is quartzite climbing at its best ... but here there's an entrance fee ...
Rated R for ground fall potential through the crux, safe once you get good gear in the "second horizontal." If you want to lead this at PG, you can pre-place a (bomber) .3 with an alpine draw in the "second horizontal.".
"Fun" fact: The developer, Greg Stenger, only placed one bolt on the route because he only had a hand drill at the time -- he says it was easier to just wire the moves than hand drill a second bolt ... at the crux ... in range of decking. He suggests you work the moves, too, if you plan to go ground up on this classic headpoint.
