The Plan
View Larger Map
Here is a map of the locations I will stop along the way. After Colorado, each leg is only about 6 hours. I will be meeting Jeremy and Ben in Moab on the 4th. We will hit Indian Creek for 3 or 4 days. IC is known for single pitch splitter cracks and also pretty hard for us sport climbers.
I then have to pack these guys and all their gear into my CR-V and drive down to Las Vegas to climb at Red Rock Canyon. Red Rock is known for long moderate multipitch climbs. Eve and Sarah are flying out to meet us on the 10th and we will probably see a few shows and do some easier climbs with the girls. Ben, Jeremy and Sarah will then fly out on the 12th.
Eve and I will head down to San Diego to visit our good friends from graduate school, David and Tandi. We will chill for a bit on the beach for a few days. David told me that he would teach me how to surf, so we will see how that goes. David and Tandi were climbers when they were in St. Louis, but have not climbed much at all since moving to California (this is completely incomprehensible to me). A little time at Joshua Tree and it will be like riding a bike for them.
After Eve flys out of San Diego on the 22nd, I have an open week. So I will decide then if I go up to Yosemite, back to Indian Creek, or just back home. I hope by the end of April I am tired of climbing, but I doubt that will happen!

Be warned; I have a twitter friend who's climbed extensively at J-Tree. She says the routes are really graded old-school, when a 5.9 was as hard as it gets. Be ready to knock down a notch or two, and be ready for some hellacious walk-offs.
Hmmm... well I have a guidebook for routes between 5.6 and 5.9. I thought those might be too easy, but your post makes me think they will be just right! I've heard that J-tree, the Gunks, Suicide rocks and Yosemite are the old school areas.
