Planning on taking several trips this spring and summer and wanted to know what people thought would be must do's in AZ, northern and central CA, NV, UT. For example I'm a socal local so jtree: stem gem, snl, w.rasta, caveman, jbmfp... blk mtn: fallen arch, greenie, ok arete, basin dyno... Anything from V0 to V7 giving some representation of the area, history, quality, or just your favs. Much appreciated!

Yosemite: get it up, the king, athletes die young, circuit breaker, root canal. Lost rocks(Humboldt county):the flake.there isnt a guide to lost rocks but if you go out there it will be obvious. Bishop:jedi mind tricks, fly boy, the hulk.Bachar boulders out by mammoth are cool.Santa barbara has good sandstone at the brickyard.if it rains, let it dry for at least a week.

I would second Get it Up and The King at Yosemite and add The Octagon to the list (and they're all in the same area).

Castle Rock is always fun if you're tired of crimping granite. Just go to the the Magoos area or the Parking Lot boulder....pretty much everything is good. Look for Hueco Wall (V5), Yabo Roof (V5), and Bate's Arete (V4) in particular.

The Buttermilks are amazing. The Hunk (V2), Green Wall (V3?), and High Plains Drifter (V7) should not be missed.
