Rifle doesn't have very many routes that are less than 5.11, "Purple and Green" (10d) on the Anti Phil Wall, is the only one that is any gud that comes to mind. The Ice Cave Wall likely has the largest concentration of easy routes, (several 5.10's and easy 11's) though I haven't done many of them. We went there one day with Alex and climbsomething on a rest day and had some fun. "Feline" 11c is real gud though. If you can do 5.11's there is a handfull of routes worth doing. The two routes on the Meat Wall are gud, "Cold cuts" 11a and "80' of Meat" 11b. The 4 routes on the rt side of the Project Wall are gud, They are all 11b or 11c. Of course the "Defenseless Betty" 11d is real gud. "Rumor Has It" 11a on the Sapper Wall is gud.
The weather will be warm during July and it does get crowded on the weekends. That being said I have spent a lot of time in July in Rifle and have climbed on the weekends during this time. Generally I think late aug early sept is the best time to go. During the spring the walls are still dripping, summer is hot during the midday. All that being said I would go, even in July and even though there are not a lot of easy routes. Bring a stick clip and party down. Rifle is located in a beautiful canyon with shade on one side or the other and a stream running down the middle, with pay camping in the canyon and free OB camping up the hill in the forest. There is also a daily fee to use the park and the rangers are pretty strict about it... so pay your daily fee or get a ticket.
Feel free to ask more if you like.

The best place in the US for easy sport and is nice in July is , Drum roll..... Maple Canyon in Utah. gud camping (for a small fee) right in the canyon. You can walk to all the climbing from your campsite. Showers, easy routes on unique rock, and best of all it is nice in July as long as you climb in the shade, and there is plenty of shady walls. Too many cliffs to name but if you check out The School Room and Zen Garden you will find plenty of easy(5.10 and easier) bolted sport routes to chose from.

SLC is the closest major airport. It is about 2.5 hours from Maple; you will have to rent a car.
I second that Maple is THE best destination crag for diverse abilities in the middle of the summer.
One thing though: there is next to nothing to do in any of the nearby towns, other than watch movies. No bars, nightlife, nothing. It is the epitome of small town, isolated Mormondom.

Well, that goes without saying. I'm sure he meant that besides consolidating your harem of underage wives at your white power fuck Katie Brown in the asshole compound, there is nothing to do.

I found Smith to be like that too..... although a small town can be well summed up by Natimuk near Arapiles.... dunno about the mormons but you will surprisingly find a decent milkshake.
