Wondering what climbs are good considerations for christmas climbing. So far the west face of the tooth and the southern comfort wall seem possible. Any suggestions?
The Wedge gets decent sun exposure. Most of the high-peaks get some pretty decent sun but the approaches can be cold/snowy around Christmas. If the Organs are pretty snowy for some reason, but you're in the area, check out Checkerboard Wall in the Dona Anas. It is lower elevation, and gets pretty good sun until the afternoon.
I hear the tooth is great but can be very exciting, ie frightening. It's on my list.
I was just up at the Southern Comfort wall over the weekend. The temperature is nice. Great sun all day. It can get windy anywhere in the organs though. One could probably do several routes in a day at SoCo wall. There are several really good routes on this wall too.
In the event of snow, Hueco Tanks is close if you're into bouldering and the sunny side of the Tunnel for sport climbing.
