I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on good routes to solo in yosemite. I am going to be there in mid september with my non climber girlfriend. I am going to take her up sunnyside bench in the afternoon and I wanted something to do that morning. I don't mind gettin gup at 4 or wahtever.
I soloed RA w/ no problem and after 6 and after 7 w/ no problem as well.
The no problem thing is the way I Like it.
the longer the better and the more predictable / less exposed the crux the better as well. Just looking for some ideas that I could look into.
THANKS.
oh, Snake dike is out because of the approach descent.

munginella to salginella (5.6 & 5.7 ) , 7 or 8 solid pitches
nutcracker
anything at knob hill area
better yet teach your girlfriend the mystical art of belaying or strap a grigri to her...

Selaginella is 5.8 and that last pitch is a doozy. I'm not sure I'd recommend a solo on that one just because it's so weird at the top.

yeah the top of selag is a little weird..that exposed traverse is pretty rough for a solo...I'm talkin about that step out over a span of like 6' of majorly exposed reachyness......I guess you could just jump!
hmm...maybe I'll just be doing royal arches again..

In reply to: Edge, he said solo, not free solo.
It would seem to me that rope soloing any of these routes is lamer than a; well, you get the idea.
Rope solo a 5.6??? OMFG.
