Looking for something fun with the teenagers, maybe 3rd-4th class. Have done Freeway with them, albeit many years ago and did some scrambles around Dino Rock last winter. A shortish day would allow them to sleep late and minimize complaints.
Thoughts on the East Ridge of Hammerhead? Seems like it would be relatively snow and ice free. Good reviews on MP.
Hammerhead's E ridge is very good! Always fun to consider how thin that arch feels while you're climbing over it... If you head up there Yodeling Moves is a great way to finish it off and tag the summit. Only 5.0 but STEEP!
Fumbledeedum is also a really fun route that is more of a mountaineering scramble than all out rock climbing. Although it faces south it is basically a gully, so this might be one to consider for a later drier time.
The last one I can think of would be the East slab of Redgarden in Eldo. Usually just a means of descent, it is also a fun scramble on its own. Getting down would be something to consider though as it's either down climb what you just came up or head down the vertigo raps...
Hillbilly or flatironette --- flatironette is kinda fun. Could shoot up and around the first and do the ridge from the false summit, that's pretty cool too.
Thanks for all the suggestions. Had a great time on Hammerhead/Yodeling today. The arch is super cool. Nice airy traverse on Yodeling. Couldn't find the rap anchor so just down climbed.
Regency and the others look like fun for the future.
Finally did the Regency, Royal Arch, Anomoly, Ameboid combo with one of the boys. Super fun! We did skip the Anomoly which was just a bit damp. All highly recommended. Thanks again for the suggestions.
