+1 for this

"Do yourself a favor- if you're doing a multi-pitch route with someone who does not have a lot of multi-pitch experience, and you want to spend time with that person in the future and that person to like you, don't make the climb anywhere near their limit. "

I'm going to moab with my girlfriend. We're going to do primrose, sisyphus, and the North rim of monster tower. We might run up washer woman if there is time and maybe something else along the way. You should do the same.

This is bad advice.

from another female....I agree with Gretchen 100% I love climbing in the creek and I love multi-pitch...but if you are new to both....keep it simple and fun and you will be able to climb again at Indian Creek. Together.

That may be, but the whole "girlfriend" route/crag thing is quite sexist & condescending, especially for those SOs who pull harder than almost everyone on this site.

Regarding your question about the Lighthouse Tower: You can`t bring her up. She will have to do the downclimb.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
