The South Face is a popular spot for beginners, and for good reason. The approach is pretty friendly and there are numerous easy climbs, starting at 5.5 and moving up with a large selection of 5.7 and 5.8 climbs. There are also a few harder climbs in the 5.10 range. We took our nieces here for their first outdoor climbing excursion and it was adorable.
