Last weekend my gf and I did the NE Ridge of Lone Pine peak. It was a great route and I enjoyed doing it in a day (14 hrs).

I have a friend in town and my gf and I would like to take him up a peak in the Sierra that has some 5.7 or easier. I'm looking for a peak that does not require backpacking because he does not have camping gear.

Any recommendations?

Humphreys is the only option I can think of at the moment.

Thanks.

You can do the West Ridge of Conness in a day, car-to-car. Or the North Ridge.

if you're fired up and ready to get after it, venutian blind on temple is a pretty cool car to car. or go to tuolumne....conness, tenaya-matthes or echo peaks could all be cool

Did Venusian blind last season. Looking for something a little shorter for my friend. Bear creek is on the list of potentials.

I compiled a similar list, but without backpacking or a huge day I'd say

Hurd or Emerson

If you're okay with driving up to Tuolumne, SE Butt of Cathedral Peak is a nice option
