Again don’t count out the climbs in the 5.5-5.6 range as most have a few moves or short sections of 5.6 with all the rest 5.0-5.4 ish

You can borrow my supertopo guide if you want and get your High Sierra Guide back..

Nothing lame about the question. It makes perfect sense, and you have lots of good suggestions here. Have fun!

In Salt Lake, Mt Olympus is nice.

West Slabs

Geurt's Ridge

Otherwise, hard to beat the Flatirons above Boulder. I've been able to do up to 4000' of 5.5 and under slab in a day there.

An adventurous option would be the San Rafael Reef out in the desert.

Thousand Feet of Fun

1000 feet of 5.3 climbing is my idea of fun -- a couple of climbs i've always wanted to do in the sierras are the east face of whitney and the north ridge of lone pine peak. not exactly 5.3, but close.

I have no route suggestions for ya but pick me if you want a partner! I'd love to do a 1,000 ft of 5.3 unless, of course, you still don't want to climb with me...

You wouldn't want me to violate my only rule of climbing, now, would you?

You still have a 1000 ft of 5.2 to do with me before you head out west or anywhere else for your elusive 5.3!

What's up with that?

Don't get all up in a hizzy Coriander. I'm shooting my vacation wad in June when I go to Peru. And on top of that, when I get back, I'm going to get two dental implants which is going to put me on the injured (and poor) list for a while.

Dill is not Coriander!

Tastes all the same to me...
