I'm talking my gf to Tuolumne on a mini vacation. She mostly climbs at the gym and a little bit timid when it comes to outdoors. What would be a good area to bring her (five seven'ish)? All the info in the book points to the Guide cracks at Daff Dome, but last time I went there with some friends it was packed. She follows multipitch and leads 5.10 routes at the gym. I would be doing all the leading though since she is so skidding when it comes to placing gear. I just want her to have fun at the place so I can maybe even teach her to place some gear on easy routes.

Golfer's Route ( supplement the bolts with a single set and stoppers, two ropes to rap, can fan dangle a TR on harder routes to the right) those "knob" named routes
knobvious, knob-noxious ect not super easy but as close moderate gym climbing as TM gets Cathedral Peak Werners Wiggle fun 5.8+ west country and bolt way on the left side of stately pleasure there are lots more but these are all pretty chill

If you have the patience to rope up for 5.5, you can't get much better than Tenaya Peak for epicness/views/general awesomeness. Northwest Books (5.6) is a cool route on Lembert Dome too - FA'd by Harding in 1954!

When I was a small fry, my dad took me up Northwest Books and Holdless Horror. Both are 5.6, offer great views, and shouldn't be too scary to follow. Plus they are great fun!

Northwest book is definitely on the list. We saw Lambert dome when we played around on Puppy dome. Hope the weather stays warm for the next couple weeks! Thank all! We had a blast!

That's one of the funniest things I've seen on MP in a while.

Actually, climb Tenaya Peak, then hike over to Cathedral passing Cathedral lakes and go for an awesome swim, then climb Cathedral and head out the trail or back down the drainage to Tenaya. Long day but awesome. I also took my girlfriend up a 4-5 pitch climb on West side of Lembert that was great at that level... Enjoy whatever you do!

She carries all the gear and 4 gallons of water and my bathing suit too! I figured I would have her rope gun my least favorite pitches of the Nose next week. Girls rule!
