Im thinking of heading down to zion next week to climb some walls. The forecast looks good, 50's and partly cloudy but i was wondering if anybody has any first hand exeprience woth the current conditions or any tips for winter climbing in Zion. Any advice or info would be really appriciated. Thanks

Winter is a great time to climb in Zion, just be aware of wet rock. As you've probably seen on the wet rock damaged climbs compendium thread (or whatever it is), broken holds can really destroy a route.

Otherwise, have fun. Also, yak trax can be nice for snowy descents here, sometimes they get icy.

It should be good this next week, it has been raining some but it has been sunny since and 50 should be optimal in the sun. If you're looking for a partner or an extra hand I'd come climb. I live close by.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
