Before anyone jumps on me for mentioning sport climbing yosemite, I first want to explain. I go to yosemite allll the time, I live in fresno. I want to do some hard face climbing on Yosemites killer granite.
I need help finding the best sport routes in the valley. Nothing that is R/X, but up to 12a would be great. slab or face, I don't care. I just want to know about two areas with a large amount of classic Sport routes. I know about a few routes that I've seen, but I need to know the details.
thanks

You're outta luck there, chief. There's a couple decent ones scattered here and there but no concentrations. Killer Piller, Knobby Wall, Coup de Etat...Final Cut is pretty classic...we did one left of Bridalveil Falls but I can't remember the name...Chapel Wall but it's a little chilly that side of the Valley this time of year...

This time of year? Like kalcario said, not much in the way of concentrated. Check out the new Supertopo guide for Dan & Jerry's Playground and the Endless Summer wall, both on Shultz's Ridge, that's probably the most concentrated, mostly 5.10 & 5.11. A few good sport routes at the Cookie, some more at Pat & Jack's, then a scattering on all the sunny cliffs from there through El Cap.
Of course, many of the sport routes require a bit of trad pro here & there...

There was an article in one of the rags a couple of years ago about a bunch of new routes in the Ribbon Falls area I think it was. If I remember correctly they were primarily sport routes in the 5.11-5.12 range.
