I recently left work and would like to utilize September/October to climb some High Sierra and Valley routes.
Especially interested in Southwest Face on Mt. Conness, Keeler Needle, Sun Ribbon Arete and/or Dark Star on Temple Crag, Blacksmith Peak, North Buttress on Mt. Goode, Evolution/Palisades traverse, Pingora and Wolf's Head in the Wind Rivers.
(I've climbed Bear Creek Spire, Matterhorn Peak, Red Dihedral on Incredible Hulk, East Buttrress and East Face of Mt. Whitney, Mithral Dihedral and Fishhook Arete on Mt. Russell, Charlotte Dome, Michael Minaret, U-Notch, Swiss Arete on Mt. Sill, Moon Goddess Arete on Temple Crag, Third Pillar of Dana.)
Would also be interested in doing an El Cap aid route - Nose, Zodiac. (I've climbed Regular Northwest Face of Half Dome, Prow and South Face on Washington Column, Lost Arrow Spire tip and Space Shot in Zion.)
I lead trad climbs into 5.10c/5.10d.

I just got back from four days at Temple Crag and the weather was perfect. Did the Temple/Galey/Sill traverse, then after a rest day did a couple routes on Temple. Really good stuff, and from what I understand, the snow is very minimal compared to other years!

Mithral was great on Sunday... there's almost no snow anywhere near Whitney. The rock on that particular route (and Star Trekkin' and Western Front, from what I was able to see) is very solid.
Take something warm and a good headlamp if you try it car-to-car... you know, just in case you get disoriented on the descent... and have to sleep under a rock... ;-)

Might be interested in Conness or Mt. Goode (although it gets no sun this time of year). I have done everything else on your lists (except Charlotte Dome). October?

SW face of Conness is great!! Bring some wiiiiiiide stuff (like 2 #5's unless you like running out 5.8/9 offwidth for 80 feet over star dryvin's. Good luck finding partners dude. I am stuck in grad school or else I would be there.
Also, try running up the ice gulley on the north face of Conness then doing the West Ridge. My partner did that and he said it makes for a great day car-to-car (I was taking finals at the time - that bastard!).
TRADitionally yours,
Cali Dirtbag
