Lots of gear placements if you look for them on YW. Not really even dicey. Onsiting Pipeline, now thats dicey. Blind strenuous placments around the corner as you layback up, wild! Anyone here ever gotten the onsite or redpoint of Pipeline? As it's beyond me.

 

I redpointed Pipeline in 2004. I got it before I sent freeforsome.

Redpoint or Pinkpoint?

 

Both. I first top roped the shit out of it.....then I top roped it with gear and tried to mock lead it....once all the gear was in Jaime and I pulled the rope and both pinkpointed it....I was not satisfied with that so kept working on it. I got shut down a couple of times but one afternoon a couple of weeks later I warmed up on the 10.c to the right of it....then hopped on Pipeline and sent ground up. I have since gone back and top roped it and thought "how the hell did I do this"....its really difficult.

It's a real stout lead, especially if you do the lower start on the right as opposed to joining the line higher up traversing onto it from the left. I've never seen or heard of anyone onsighting it though I've seen a couple of folks do it with one fall. Took me a half-dozen goes to get it and it was completely desperate / lucky that time.

Arent and I did a complete boltess, pitonless accent of Young Warriors last night. We did not clip or use any bolts for anchors either.

 

This is the way this route should be climbed. It goes on gear the entire way. It is a little spicy in some parts. Its a tad run in a couple of parts but its all there.

 

Totally rad!
