Thanks for the info everyone!
MooseTracks, in terms of distance and elevation gain I'm just looking for something that people who are in decent shape but don't do a whole lot of mountaineering would handle. So non-technical as in no class 5, but I'd probably also want to avoid super exposed stuff too. I want it to be challenging enough to be fun, but not so hard it ruins someone's day. We'll be camping around the Buttermilks for about a day, so we'll have a little bit of acclimatization.
I took a look at Cloudripper and that seems like the difficulty level I'm looking for - depending on the route 7-10 miles round trip, 3-4 K elevation gain, class 2-3.
