One day at Mount Lemon

My wife and I have one day to go climbing on an otherwise family-oriented trip.  We're looking for recommendations for a day of casual sport climbing at Mount Lemon.  Likely Tuesday or Thursday of this week, if anyone wants to join us. The forecast for both days is around 85 in Tucson, if that gives locals an idea of how high up the mountain we should be going.  

We'd want routes in the low ten through high eleven range.  Not a big or complicated approach. Single pitch. Casual cragging.

Any suggestions welcome, thanks!

Munchkinland and Raycreation are good bets you guys. Windy point would also be good in the shade, but its a bit harder to navigate on your first trip. Chessman is another good low-elevation zone with a shorter (but steep) approach. The beauty of Lemmon is you can drive up with the windows open and just decide when the temps are juuuuuusssssttt right.

Hope you have a great trip, and please donate to CASA if you enjoyed your time and want to pay it forward.

Thanks for the suggestions. We went to Munchkinland and had a pretty good day.  

Cheers!
