Bumming around Moab area for 4 days with a friend who just learned sport- looking for 5.7-5.11 range if it exists. Looks like all trad! Thanks

Mill Creek and a few other crags up that way are all sport. The info on MP is sparse but there's tons of bolted lines up there.

Ice cream parlor has some bolted lines and you should definitely check out Pocket Rocket

From the MP page for Mill Creek:

It should be noted that if you are visiting Moab from out of town, Mill Creek is probably not the best destination or rest-day distraction. The area is mostly undocumented, and almost entirely established ground up. Ratings are very stiff, there are often big runouts on non-trivial climbing, and holds are rarely well-chalked and frequently adorned with sand or cobwebs. There is also very little climbing below mid 5.11. Because of the magazines, Mill Creek has a reputation for being Moab's "sport climbing" area, but this is both a disservice to Mill Creek and to climbers as well.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
