We like French's Dome

This is a fun dome, and was the first place I ever climber outdoors, but doesn't actually have that many routes around the same difficulty; it's easy to exhaust the routes you can do in two days.
French's is a great little crag. 20 or so routes all bolted. Starting with an easy 5.6 that goes all the way to the top, providing a beautiful view of Mt. Hood and a fun free hanging rappel. There's also some tough stuff too: 5.12b/c. There aren't too many routes in the 5.9-10 range, but I guess that's more reason to push into the 11's, right? At about an hour+ from downtown this is a great place to go for a day trip.
Decent summer sport crag.
