Easy Yosemite Valley topropes
Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2009 9:15 pm
I know, the choices are limited, but I'm taking a couple friends to the Valley this weekend and am trying to think of the best places to take them. This will be about their third time climbing outside and I suspect 5.8 will be about their limit with 5.6 still plenty challenging. So I'm looking for some easy stuff just to get them on the rock. Got any favorites? One of my buddies is a competent lead-belayer, so I can set up TR anchors. Was planning on easy topropes on Saturday with an easy multi-pitch on Sunday.
Possible topropes: Churchbowl (Lieback Crack, Aunt Fanny's Pantry); Glacier Point Apron (the Goblet, the Grack - Center and Left); Sunnyside Bench (Jamcrack)
Possible multipitch: Regular Route at Sunnyside Bench.
Anyone got other favorite places to take beginners?
