Does anyone have any recs for thin, slabby routes up SPH highway? Recovered finger is not %100 - don't want to wrench on it, but looking for some fun lines. Headed up next week. Looking in the 5.11 - easy 5.12 range.

Thanks

Actually, it does seem you could have a great time at Suicide.

Thanks. I'd never heard of Devil's Dancefloor before.

Since temps are on the rise, there is some nice slab up by Chipmunk.

Township Rebellion 11a is good.
Fresh 11b is fun and also easy access

Ski Lift Cliff
A Walk in the Park 11c is supposed to be good.

But Ski Lift can be warm.

Up near Burst Rock at Baffin Island crag

Puffin Stuff 11c is fun, shorter crux but reachy.

I had meant to reply to this too but I was gone (hiking of all things).

A short summary of ideas/supplement to what Munge said (and I agree with his specifics too):

If it is hot out, try Burst Rock. Many very good slab routes there, especially, in hot weather, on Burst's north face and at the Gianelli Edges;

In cool weather the South Fork Stanislaus river area has fantastic slab;

Although it's at over 8,000 feet, Chipmunk can be a mix of hot and cold. Good slab there on both sides of the creek; the north side (facing south) is good in cooler weather and the south side (facing north) can be good in hotter weather.
