Heading out to Quartz Mt this weekend for the first time. I lead 5.8 comfortably in the WWR (Crazy Alice, Mr. Clean, etc.). What would be the best routes to do for the first time?
Its been awhile since i have been there but when i was there, I was leading similar routes to the ones you mention. Quartz is, in general, a bit more old school than the WWR. A lot of the sport routes have some good size run outs on them. That being said, some of the trad routes there that i have done are great. Below are the ones I have done that I liked.
The Hobbit - my favorite 5.7 at quartz Macho Man South pacific South Africa
Theses are all 5.7 trad and a good time
Whos got the Juice - 5.7 slab sport route. Probably at least about 20' between bolts. Allows you to top rope Super slide - 5.10d.
I have only camped at the state park. I remember it being a little crowded but not too horrible. im sure it varies by which weekend you go.
