| SarahThompson | Classic, went to summit Date Climbed: May 1, 2012 | |
| Finally got to experience this Eldo classic. Finished with the Ament Variation. Scrambled to the summit of The Bastille from the top of the route (which was very cool but very exposed and 5.0ish). | |

| Nice day on the Bastille. Never been on it before and enjoyed being the only folks on the route. I see why this is such a classic but wish it wasn't so polished. Could be loved to death someday. | |

| noahs213 | Superb route Date Climbed: Jun 2, 2010 | |
| Pretty easy. I've heard a lot of people say the climbing is a lot harder since the rock is more polished. But it was not bad at all. Good 5.7 lead. Protect the start. Don't skip out on gear at the start. That's how many have died on this route. The protection is so there. | |

| randaro | Still Classic Date Climbed: Jun 18, 2009 | |
| I try to do this every time I am in the area. It's that fun. Gets a little more polished every year. 30 min wait. Caught one group at top of first pitch. The group behind caught us (two mins) never saw either again. Waited at base for over an hour after hanging out on the top for half an hour. Hope they are o.k. I'll be back. | |
