Time and money have magically lined up for about a month here. It is finally time for a grand climbing adventure. Question is... where and what to climb between albuquerque and maybe somewheres in OR. There are too many options. Long stuff is great. Adventures a must. 10/11 trad climbing, beautiful camp sites, etc.

Suggestions?

RMNP to Vedauwoo to Wind Rivers to Grand Teton to Yosemite

Or fly to Squamish and save time and money by staying in one place for the entire month.

JJNS has a good suggestion but I would add a stop at Lover's Leap on the way to Yosemite.

Hit LL midweek, and ideally with a partner who climbs as hard as you do, and you can knock out a lot of really amazingly good classic multipitch in a short time. There are some good 10/11 lines there but that's not why you go... be a good few days rest for ya.

Add some stuff to keep a couple moderate climbers happy too.

Oops, wasn't clear. Lover's Leap is basically all moderates: super classic lines 5.7 to 5.9

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
