Hey guys, I will be passing through during the first week in October and just wondering what types of crowds I should be expecting mid week at Lovers Leap. Really stoked on climbing The Line but also interested in any suggestions. Also was wondering how big the campground is and if there is easily accessible BLM or National Forrest land nearby as a backup plan. Last thing, should I take a day to check out phantom spires? Thanks for the help!

MId week October, you will be fine. Campground is small, but again, mid week I think you'll likely be ok. Phantom Spires is pretty good too.

I really enjoy the climbing up on eagle lake buttress, highly recommended.

Don't forget sugarloaf.

If your in the area don't miss Phantom Spires really cool.
Candyland one of the coolest routes you'll ever do.

Thanks for the tips. Decided to hit the leap and the spires. Candyland looks like too much fun to pass up!
