Beg the question

So, this latest splurg of picture posting has led me to one conclusion:
we are all itching to climb again, and, given the time of year, SOON.

So what's the spring/summer plan? Where's the preferred destination? What's the preferred climate and rock we want to tackle this time around?

Are we looking for some variety? For instance, do we want to plan a trip that includes bouldering, sport, top-roping and trad climbing? Or, do we just need a change of venue and rock-type? Say, granite over sandstone or cracks and crimps over slopers and smears?

Come on folks! I need feedback!

I for one think that a spring trip in Joshua Tree is boding all of us for all our needs--trad, sport, bouldering, and drinking in San Diego.

But, I could be persuaded to put off my climbing fix until summer when Leavenworth, Smith, and Squamish all become prime climbing destinations. That would entail lotsa driving, but also, lotsa variety and lotsa scenery. After all, Joshua Tree's scenery gets a little boring a little fast.

So, what's it gonna be?
1.) Spring--Joshua Tree for bouldering, sport, and trad.
2.) Late Spring, early Summer--Leavenworth and Squamish for bouldering, sport, and perhaps some trad.
3.) Or someplace I neglect to consider, such as Salt Lake City and Joe's Valley / Triassic / Little Cottonwood Canyon?

Speak up or be spoken for!

I cast my vote for SLC. So much there to explore and none of us, as far as I know, has ever been to climb. That's not to say a separate trip to the Pacific Northwest next year is not also in the mix. Bob
