It's not my back yard so I need some help from the Cali crew.
Looking for climbs in the 5.10/11 range.
I've done the Harding Route on the SW Face of Conness, Positive Vibrations and the Red Dihedral.
What are some other classics I should consider?

Dark Star or Sun Ribbon Arête on Temple Crag, link into Mt Sill if you are feeling especially spunky
Minarets Traverse would be a little easier but very cool looking terrain.
Direct East Face of Whitney is on my list, note a 5.10d OW part.
Keeler Needle
Also don't miss the various Hotsprings - beautiful scenery to soak and relax after a big day.

Though I haven't done it, Mithral Dihedral on Mt. Russell looks so good.

I've done Dark Star....seven good pitches and then it deteriorated.
I'm going back to the Hulk for Sunspot Dihedral.

Michael Strassman Memorial Route. (Superdike) 5.10C, on the south face of Lone Pine Peak. Beautiful wall of granite.

A route on Cardinal Pinnacle (up the Lk Sabrina Rd from Bishop). I've only done the West Face, 10a; all routes look excellent.

Star Trekkin .10c or Western Front .10a? on Mt. Russell always looked soooo good but a touch out of my range. Go get on it Jim!
