Hi. I'm new to this forum and am looking for a climbing partner at Tahquitz next Sunday August 12th. I have gear and can lead up to 5.8 or follow up to 5.9. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hey craig i might be up that way this weekend what did you have in mind?

Piton Pooper or Sahara Terror are good climbs, ST being much better than PP, but longer.

Hi Nate, Thanks for your response. I was looking at something on the West Face--maybe some combination of Piton Pooper, Fingertrip, Angel's Fright, Upper Royal's Arch, The Jam Crack. This will be my first time at Tahquitz, so if you know the area, I'm open to whatever you suggest. I'm just going by what's in the guidebook and online. It looks like it might be a warm weekend, so I would ideally want to get going early Sunday morning. I've signed my wife up for an all-day rock climbing class that day, so I'd love to find someone to do some good routes with. We'll be camping at Dark Canyon. Give me a call before the weekend if you want to connect.

Thanks, Craig

Or Sahara Terror looks like another good one. Thanks for the suggestion, JC.

I'd skip The Jam Crack. I did it a couple weeks ago and there are much better routes to be done on Tahquitz. Not a terrible route or anything, just not as cool as say the first pitch of Dave's Deviation that is essentially in the same spot, but a 5.9. You should do Jensen's Jaunt w/ Traitor Horn (5.6 and 5.8). Traitor horn is a super classic and unforgetable climb.
