maybe it just has a special place in my heart cuz its my hardest onsight so far........

Don't fall into that "it'd be hard for the average 12 climber" trap. Fact is, its one thought provoking move that turns out to be not so hard. Cool route nonetheless.

Not to mention, there are much harder vert routes at the lode...

I redpointed YBR before I redpointed a single 5.10 route. But still a cool 5.9 route with a hard single crux move.

I'm thinking of replacing one of mine with "Vandalism"... mmm, that's a good slab too and would possibly take my total up to 50% closed routes!

Vandalism is awesome! Almost onsighted it but never got back on it for the redpoint.

That made me feel like a less than sucky climber.

Fred, explain yourself. I don't see these in the guide anywhere. WTF?

Is there really a route called Birthday Plunge? That is the name of the pit cave I am going to tomorrow. The pit cave contains are 7 drops total, and I have only dropped the first one before, which is 67 feet.

Those are all Morehead area routes. Silly Morehead climbers!

I've actually climbed two of them: Birthday Plunge (named after a horizontal handjam and a coincidental FA date so I'm told) and Emaculate Conception which is a good route. Hope the anchors have been replaced.

My Morehead list would be:

Some really super low angle bolted route at Clack. It actually had what looked like buttonhead bolts and those old thin hangers.
