I will be staying there next weekend with a group of non climbers. I was thinking about setting up a TR and trying to coax some people on to the stone. Any suggestions?

I might even try leading something, if i can find someone to belay me. Any recommendations for some moderate lead routes?

Thx

Zip, what do you mean, "try to lead something" ? If I remember correctly you led several crack climbs at Short Wall in Indian Cove. I only remember cause I did belay you and cleaned the climb. You are good climber and teacher. LRL

Lynne,

thanks for the props.

the people i am going with, are all non climbers, and i am not sure how i feel about them belaying me on something that i might possibly fall on.

Really? I sent you an email saying I was going to be in JTree (3/26 - 4/7). I sent it via the Supertopo thing. Hmm....lost in cyberspace!

I don't know about Sheep Pass, but Brandt took me up a very fun 5.5 on the west face of the campground rock in Ryan c/g. It is a wanderer, with a couple ways you can go. Face climbing. Bolts at the top which you can set up as a TR for a 5.9 or 5.10 face climb.
