Anyone else trying to make last minute plans for the last week of August?

I can be off Aug 22 (Fri) to Aug 29 (Fri), inclusive, and would like to find a partner or two to swing leads on routes with shorter approaches:
Bear Creek Spire, N. arete
Mt. Goode, N. Buttress
Clyde Minaret, SE face

Tentative schedule:
Day 1 Pick up permit (+ short route on Tuolumne to get acquainted?)
Day 2 Approach
Day 3 Climb, hike out
Day 4 Pick up permit, rest
Day 5 Approach (trip 2)
Day 6 Climb
Day 6 pm/Day 7 (for Clyde) hike out

Alternative plan: replace the first 3 days with cragging in Tuolumne, Cardinal Pinnacle, Crystal Crag etc.

Please let me know if you are interested/available for even just one climb.

Cheers,
Alfred (alfred.kwok@pomona.edu)
