So my partner and I are heading to Yosemite on a last minute trip for a few days. Were doing Royal Arches one day but I'm also looking for some stellar crack recommendations up to 5.9. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Should be empty so you can get on all of the classics. Stick to the south facing stuff. Lots of mellow stuff to include Nutcracker, Bishop's Terrace - if you want to get some good cragging in head over to Pat and Jack's pinnacle or Reed's. Have fun
Not sure how the conditions are, but the Grack is always a good one to get familiar with Yosemite granite. Nutcracker, After 6, Nutcracker, Jamcrack should all be good. Any of the Open Books Climbs (Munginella, Selanginilla, Commitment) might be wet still, but don't quote me on that. Bishop's Terrace should be good as well and is super good.
Best one in my honest opinion is a link up of Commitment and Sellangenela 5.9 and 5.8. 7 pitches. If you have time on the way down you can jump on Bishop's Terrace (2 pitch classic 5.8).
