I am looking for some advice for an overnight rock climbing trip over July 4th weekend. I am fine with heading to either side of the Sierra. Ideally something with a 4-8 mile approach and 2k or 3k of elevation gain. Pretty much we are looking to do a leisurely trip and get in a day or two of rock climbing from base camp. We are thinking 3-6 pitches or so 5. whatever to 5.8 is preferable since one climber is not that strong and don't want to wear him out or get him stalled on a crux.
Throw your ideas out there I am open to pretty much anything from the southern sierra to yosemite. We are looking to drive up Friday afternoon or Saturday morning and hike-in and spend 2-3 nights in the backcountry and 1-2 days climbing. I guess we also need to be ale to get permits so throw that into the mix.
Thanks for helping me plan my vacation and btw I got new nuts, the wife wasn't happy. Not because I lost my nuts, but since we had to pay to replace them
