Mescalito - Original Route

This Ain't No Disco

When A Stranger Calls

This is an outstanding route that is usually less crowded than other routes in RR of the same quality. It is possible to climb only the crux first pitch and rap with double ropes but the whole climb is fun and interesting; especially the fourth.

Y2K is located on the north-east corner of the Mescalito. On the approach, spot a pinkish dihedral that has a sharp curve to the right in it. To the right of this dihedral is a bolted face that leads to a roof. This is the route.

P1: 5.10a, 150' Begin atop a large boulder leaning against the face. Climb up past several bolts to the overhang. Turn the overhang (crux) and continue up the crack and face to a bolted belay. The crux is very well protected with a bolt and you can place a good cam just above the bolt.

P2: 5.8, 160' Climb straight up the face to a huge ledge and a double-bolt belay. There are two ledges here; one stepped above the other.

P3: 5.5, 50' Traverse straight right to a nice belay alcove at the base of a right facing corner and build a gear anchor.

P4: 5.9, 150' Climb the stellar right facing corner. Near the top, the crack goes from thin to non-existent and pro becomes a bit tricky. Step left onto a ledge and belay from the anchors. I'd give this pitch a PG rating but it is superb.

Decent: 3 double rope raps.

Stellar line on the east face of [Mescalito](https://openbeta.io/area/d9c00e33-ec11-5a94-b110-205dca459825/mescalito), offering a mix of face and crack climbing. First ascended by the Stonemaster dream team — John Long, Lynn Hill, and Richard Harrison — in 1981. Aside from occasional crumbling face section on P1, the route provides an interesting crack climb on solid granite-like sandstone, with the added opportunity to link up with the upper pitch of [Cat in the Hat](https://openbeta.io/climb/1abda280-6f00-5729-bea8-13eb3f555cce/cat-in-the-hat).


- Pitch 1: Face climb up moderate terrain to a left-facing arête. A modern bolt was added to protect a committing move to get onto the ledge, which has removed the seriousness (PG/R rating) as the rock below was of marginal quality. A fixed nut (as of 2024) above the old piton may protect an ankle-busting fall — only if you can clip it! Enjoy some glorious cracks on beautiful dark and golden rocks to a bolted anchor.
- Pitch 2: The corner chimney directly above the belay looks intimidating, though you can climb the left face until reaching the roof, then make some exciting and exposed moves (on great holds) to the right above the roof. Continue up the finger crack, which eventually widens to #3 Camalot size. No pure crack techniques are required, as there are plenty of face holds.  When the crack becomes a chimney we went right to the anchor of [Pine Nuts](https://openbeta.io/climb/3f122076-03c0-5f15-943a-221283137cb9/pine-nuts) and rappel.  (You can barely make it to P1 anchor of Pine Nuts with a single 70m).
