Me and my climbing partner both got laid off, and have a bunch of time to climb- but since it is January the places we have climbed before- lovers leap, and donners pass- are both snowed in I assume.

Where else can a fledgling trad leader and his partner get their multipitch climbing fix?

Is Munginella in decent condition? Any other good condition climbs of a similar grade/length?

Thanks!

Go to Red Rock. Years worth of moderate, multipitch trad.

yosemite is in season. Just follow the sun (five open books, reeds, five and dime, royal arches area, cookie, arch, etc...)

a week or two ago, when it was 24 degrees at the base of five open books, it was still possible to climb munginella.

good luck

Lovers east wall is likely in the sun and not snowed in either.

In Tahoe presently and it's plenty warm to climb. Snow is unfortunately minimal at 6,000 ft. Climb away!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
