bedellympian Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Looking for recs on this year's road trips... Indian Creeksgiving: 10s and 11s that don't get gang-banged, aren't hard to get to and still let you get in plenty of mileage. Joshua Tree during holidays: good TR solos, good solo boulder/scramble zones, a good 11b/c to project. Yosemite Valley in late June: first trip to the valley, stuff that isn't too hot, good wall climbs, good free climbs, stuff that doesn't get gang-banged.

Off_White Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The key to having a good time on the classics in Yosemite is an alpine start. Be at the base at 5am and you'll usually be the first party, then you just have to be a fast party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenwesh Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Everything in the valley gets gang banged, even as early as 5 am. late June can be triple digit hot. High sierra is great though. Great Escape is shady, and routes on the Fifi Buttress. If you enjoy hot sports action, Rifle is phenomenal. All my friends, they'll tell you. It's the most excellent. Just wait, you'll see.

Pete_H Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 NE Butt of Higher Cathedral is pretty shady. Its popular but not like some others. Its 5.9, but old school 5.9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Don't think you have to worry about crowds on your chosen routes near 40 34 59 N, 118 59 57 W... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
