Gun club sucks

I’d say the best way to move from trad/multipitch into proper alpine routes is to pick an accessible, easier line that you know you can reverse or summit and exit if things get dicey. A smooth, rappable wall with bolts or good ledge stations to anchor off of for bailing or easier, mountainneringish routes you can just scramble back down on. I also think if you’re leading 5.9 in the Valley, that doesn’t directly translate to 5.9 in the High Sierra (Central Pillar Frenzy 5.9 vs Mithril Dihedral 5.9+). Take pictures of topos, landmarks and other ide tidying features to reference while you’re up there. Always check suspect choss before you pull on it. You could always hire a guide or make friends with some locals to get you up a route if it’s your first time. Seriously, no shame in the guide. It’s a service for a reason. Will probably negate all your worries. Above all, just sack the fuck up, get out there, and don’t die!!
