I've been looking on the internet for routes to do the next weekend my boyfriend and I are in Red Rock that are at least 5 pitches, around mid 11 to easy 12 and that'll be mostly in the sun. I've found posts related to sunny 5.10 routes and otherwise our friends currently have our guidebooks, so I was wondering if people more familiar with RR had any suggestions.

We're considering Time's Up. And the Original Route would be too hard.

Thanks!

You would freeze on the Original Route at this time of year.

For a long 5.11 with good winter sun, Levitation 29 should be at the very top of your list. For a weekend trip, doing L-29 on the first day, with some sunny cragging on the second day, would be a good plan.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Oops, dunno how I thought the Original Route was sunny. Good to know Time's Up might not get much sun either.

The Black Arch Wall looks really nice, especially Black Widow.

We did Levitation last year and it was a good climb.

Thanks for the advice guys. I think were headed to Zion to chase sun.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
