Best long moderate routes in Yosemite

By Clint Cummins

WHAT'S THE BEST LONG FREE ROUTE IN YOSEMITE?

WHAT'S THE BEST 5.7 LONG FREE ROUTE IN YOSEMITE?

WHAT'S THE BEST 5.8 LONG FREE ROUTE IN YOSEMITE?

WHAT'S THE BEST 5.10 LONG FREE ROUTE IN YOSEMITE?

Depends highly on your preference for crack vs. face, short crux vs. many 5.10 pitches, etc. If possible do all of the routes below, "so you can make an informed decision": My (highly biased) favorite: Ho Chi Minh Trail. 20 pitches, 8 of which have some 5.10. An improved version of the DNB (stealing its best pitches), IMO. Runners-up: Killer 5.10 route if you don't mind aiding 15': Nice routes, but too short (i.e. not all day affairs): Meadows:
