Moonlight buttress, Zion, in mid June
|
Hi, I know it is going to be hot at that time of year, but anyone know how hot? i.e. is it a stupid idea, or do others regularly climb it on aid at that time of year. |

Wayyyyyy to hot to be worthwhile. Trust me. We basically climb exclusively in the shade june-august. Even late may and most of september can be brutal. Also, you can always check bird closures on the National Park Service website for each park. |

i was on it two weeks ago and it was quite hot. In a month it will be insane. |

Thanks guys. |

This looks possible (even if on the wrong side of the country, but kind of on the way home for a Brit): |

It is all clean (it gets free attempts with some regularity). It is pretty short, however, and for an experienced/competent aid climber, this wouldn't really take multiple days. I've done it twice, once fixing a few pitches the first evening and then finishing the next day. The other time was in one day, and I aid slow as dirt. |
