i am looking for some suggestions for easy-to-moderate snow climbs with shortish approaches, along the lines of bloody couloir. east or west side of the sierra does not matter, as long as it's a fun route. i am more interested in a short approach since my work schedule sometimes impacts the length of time i can be out, and i'd rather spend it climbing than hiking. i'm comfortable up to probably 45 degrees or so. any suggestions would be welcome. thanks in advance!

Lots of short stuff on the road up to Tuolomne from Lee Vining.


Also some big chutes on the east side of Dana Plateau
