What are the best 2 day walls in Zion? Touchstone and moonlight are both on the hit list but it seems like they should go down in a day. Are there any walls that typically require 2 days?

Very broad question!
All depends on one's ability and climbing style. As far as grade v walls.. streaked wall,lady mt.,Abraham,twin brothers,cable mt. And the list goes on and on. And your 2nd question I think I already answered! So go visit the park and pack that ledge and balls and have some fun.. oh yeah don't forget most routes are sandbagged.
(Except those trade routes)

Like said above, what grade? are you trying to nail or free climb a bunch? Most of the trade routes are good day walls if your efficient. Maybe swoop gimp? or the lowe route on angels?

Sorry for being to broad. I think we are trying to keep it clean though. C2-C3. It just seems kind of lame to hang a ledge and haul on a wall that so many people are trying to do, but we're psyched to spend a night on the wall and also practice our hauling setup.

Maybe you already quit climbing... but Crack in the Cosmic Egg, Disco Inferno/Desert Shield or Lunar X. It should be noted that all of these can be blasted in a day, but if your looking to camp in one of the most surreal places around, than bring the beer, brats and mini-projector.

Please don’t aid Moonlight Buttress!! The sandstone in Zion is very soft and already some of the pitches have changed drastically. It’s also C1 and would be pretty boring to aid.

Haha this is a funny archive thread. BITD we did frenchfree moonlight, but going back in a few weeks to free it. Still climbing, although certainly quit aiding.
