Multipitch climbing in Squamish
If you are able and willing, we'll swap leads, but otherwise I'll be happy leading any and all of the pitches. So, you won't need to lead trad if you can't or don't want to. (But you must be able to efficiently handle yourself on multipitch climbs, clean gear, etc., and obviously lead belay!)
I have the gear required, and a car, and will gladly do pretty much any route or route combo you like of around 8-12ish pitches and up to, say, 5.11a [though I would consider something else if you suggest it] (assuming it's not a gross choss/moss expedition with shitty pro or takes 2 hours to approach). I would rather not do four 2-pitch routes, but, say, two 4-pitch routes would be fine. We'll figure out a meet-up point once you sign up.
Possible routes (not exhaustive):
Rock On, 5.10a
Squamish Buttress, 5.10c
Milk Road, 5.10d A0 (5.11d) [not sure, may be closed due to falcon nesting]
Exasperator to Peasant's Route, 5.10c
Grand wall 5.11a, A0
Ultimate Everyting, 5.10b
Angel's Crest, 5.10b
