HI,

looking to teach a few people how to sport climb, any suggestions for areas that have lots of easy climbs and won't be too hot?

Ridgeline is pretty sunny most of the day (SE facing I think), may start getting some shade midafternoon.

Barnum rock/Gumby Wall, but it doesn't open up for climbing until September.

I'll second the Towers recommendation, if you go in the morning. A lot of options if someone wants to do their first lead, too. Then in the afternoon you can hike down to the stream and swim in the pools!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
