Heading to Yose with a non climber and looking to do some easy stuff. Any route suggestions with the current weather?

Swan slab gully - is the only thing I have done that seems they could tackle and has an easy decent.

Bishops Terrace - would be far above their following level. That is the only short stuff I have to compare to in the valley.

knob hill has great easy stuff and GREAT winter spot, direct sun, look at the grack, if it is dry great!!!!! pine line at base of el cap is sweet and in sun and has awsome view and great ledge.

my favorite thing to do with non climbers is bring them on the alcove swing!!! they love it!!!

Alcove is on the list! Pineline is also on the list of possibilities. Thanks for the info!

Munginella. Nice views. Easy/fun climbing. Warm.

Another vote for Munginella.
