Looking for a great winter climbing destination
|
My climbing partner and I are looking to go climbing somewhere in Jan/Feb. We are New England trad climbers (cannon, cathedral, rumney). We are looking for rock, we have no ice experience yet, so we must stick to rock. (Although mixed climbing would be sick). |

El Potrero Chico is an obvious answer, and cheaper than Thailand, but that's about all I can say since I've never been there. |

Potrero Chico. Even though you are trad climbers you'll have a blast clipping bolts on routes up to 23 pitches. |

I've heard of Joshua Tree being a good destination, but I feel that's the typical route to take. Arizona might be nice, but we would like all options available. Any International recommendations? I checked Thailand, a bit too much after seeing $2000+ airline tickets. All ideas would be very much appreciated.When you say mixed, do you mean mixed sport and trad, or mixed ice and rock, or mixed aid and free, or mixed as in ethnically diverse? It's a very ambiguous term. |

St George ut close to red rocks, Zion, 1000s of sport lines on multiple kinds of rock temps in the 60s most of winter |

Based on your profile I'd recommend Red Rocks. There will be a lot of stuff in your range, weather will be good, cheap airfare and hotels and if you need to take a rest day there is a place called Vegas about 20 minutes away. If you get caught in the rain J Tree is only 3 and a half hours away if you need to adjust your plans too. |

It is staring that i was also suggest you to visit Thailand because you can found lot of activities there in a cheapest rate. Mountains, water falls, forest and specially beaches are so much attractive spot in Thailand. |
