Going to SLC for the winter- Partners/ BETA? rock or mountains

deleted

Winter? Definitely get out and ice climb, and don't pass up skiing in superb conditions. Guess the desert towers farther south might have some warmer dry rock to do.

The crags lower down in little cottonwood are normally in season in the early and late winter. The random warm winter day can also make for a good day to crag there.

The S-Curves up BCC tend to melt off fast and can provide lots of good climbing even in the dead of winter.

Joe's Valley Bouldering!

If you are driving from San Diego be sure to stop at red rocks (vegas) and st. George, Utah. Perfect climbing conditions in the winter on the south facing walls.
Most people go to the desert to climb rock in the winter here. But if you're lucky with the right conditions you can get on south facing walls in big cottonwood or little cottonwood.
Ice is a good option, but hard to find partners. For mountaineering/ice climbing check out Wasatch mountain club. They might be more helpful in helping out a newbie.
