e^(2) offers a sharp, focused trad climb on one of the Yukon Territory's more compelling rock features. Starting with a bold, clipped approach on two bolts, the route immediately tests your ability to blend sport ease with trad strategy. The corner climb demands steady footwork and confidence in finger-sized protection as you ascend through a subtle roof. This feature isn’t just an obstacle—it dares you forward, rewarding precise movement and mental clarity. Beyond the roof, the line shifts right, hugging the arête where solid, positive holds allow runners to maintain rhythm and pace. The rock’s cool, slightly rough texture speaks to Yukon’s rugged character, providing enough friction to feel secure in each move without demanding overreach. Measures around 80 feet and contained in one solid pitch, this route is a dense shot of technical climbing that blends natural movement with consistent protection. Anchors sit firmly atop, ready for quick and safe top-outs. To approach, expect wilderness quiet and a sense of vast openness, as the Acropolis stands watch over distant alpine terrain stressing the territory’s raw appeal. Ideal gear includes a light rack with small nuts and cams (BD 0.3 to 0.4 are essential), plus quickdraws to clip the starting bolts safely. Daylight hits the face best from mid-morning to early afternoon, making timing important for optimal grip on the stone. Climbers report this grade lands true to 5.10d, with a technical crux at the roof that may challenge even solid 5.10 leaders, but overall it feeds well into Yukon’s collection of steep, focused lines. Respect any inclement weather—conditions shift quickly in the North, with wet rock becoming dangerously slick. The approach trail is straightforward but exposed; bring shoes fit for uneven terrain and pack enough water for the full day. Descending is a simple rappel from fixed anchors, with solid placements throughout and no tricky moves to worry about after the send. All told, e^(2) is a precise exercise for climbers aiming to sharpen trad skill while soaking in a remote alpine environment rarely crowded with others. It’s a route that balances challenge and enjoyment, asking for attention at every hold and rewarding commitment with a confident send and expansive northern views.
