Friday dreaming of a climbing holiday (USA) 24-May-2013 At 11:41:59 AM DSPIES

Message

Well it’s Friday and i’m bored at work so I’m dreaming of a climbing holiday.

What are people’s recommendations for a 2 week climbing holiday in the States? (the States allows me to visit a mate as well but I recognise there may be better places to go for a climbing holiday)

My partner and I climb mostly trad although we are happy on sport – I lead comfortably to grade 17/18 at Araps (please lets not start a grade discussion).

We would probably look at Yosemite and then consider our other options – silver mountain? Moab? Joshua tree? Death Valley? somewhere else?

I recognise there is a lot to consider but I’d like part of the holiday to be exceptional/memorable. By that I mean for example, we really enjoyed our climbing trip to thai land – there was something unique (for us at least) about climbing off the beach/the 'vibe'/and so on. I’d like to tick some big walls even if they are lower grades and we would like to see some beautiful parts of the US. –

Anyway, please offer your thoughts and recommendations.

Where else would you go if you had a 3rd week?

Thanks in advance…
