Post by ras » Sun Nov 19, 2006 2:04 pm

I'm having trouble getting enough info. We've two weeks, can spend a week in the Red Rocks campground, but don't want to spend two weeks there.

Is there enough sport climbing (5.10/11) in south utah and nevada to make a fun week down there? Any suggestions on particular crags, places to camp, etc?

I'd love some beta, I'm just lost in the rockclimbing route index, don't have a clue where i should go, what crags are warm enough, etc., etc.

> st george

which crags? have you climbed there in the winter, is it like red rocks in temperature? St. george doesn't seem to be the name of a crag, just the town.

Crawdad, and snow canyon seem right close by, but crawdad might be closed in winter, wasn't clear from the website, maybe its just the camping thats closed.

Maple, Logan, and American Fork all look too far north.

I don't climb 5.12...

i guess we were at snow crick and some limestone area east of st. george. I can't remember the name but it's in the local guidebook.

there's enough 11's at the VRg to keep you going for a few days.

buy a mat. seriously. queen creek is that good. there's sport there too but most of it is short (60 feet or less)

there's always owens river gorge at bishop. it's pretty warm there. the climbs are all the same though.
