After having spent a few days in Mt Alex, I can recommend it as a spot to drop in a do a few climbs, not as good as gramps or araps but worth the visit. Prepare for a few scrapes and bumps but that's granite for you. The weather also has a tendancy to pass through there, IE wind, rain sleet, more wind..but if you pick your days it's pretty good up there. (light a fire to keep warm, just check that it's not a day of total fire ban) Had a look at Dog Rocks and Wabbit Wocks, plenty to do at both. I would have liked to have had a go at Inquisition but as I don't to lead yet it seemed a tad difficult to setup from a top rope without a big swing out...but it looked like a very nice climb. Wabbit Wocks is good if you want to knock over a lot of climbs very quickly as they are quick & easy to setup, and most of the climbs are reasonably short.
In a nut shell, there is plenty out there to keep you interested for a couple of days..A lot better than any days work.
