sweatinoutliquor Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hey Everyone, I got to make a trip to Salt Lake City from November 6-11 for a conference, and I was wondering if there is any easily accessable solo climbing oppertunities there (i've never been). I guess you can take a shuttle up to little cottonwood canyon, but I was thinking that none of the ice would be in yet. I had hoped to be skiing when I was there, but I hear it's been really warm. Anyway, if you have any info about easy stuff that would be great. Also, if you can tell me if it would be better to bring crampons and toolz, or climbing shoes I would appreciate it. Thanks!

J_Fisher Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 It would have to be unusually cold for their to be any ice climbing by then. The ice season there is short and iffy. I'd check the Wx right before leaving, but most likely rock shoes for sure. The winter weather there is really volatile--swings from sub-zero to t-shirt in a matter of days aren't unusual.

EWolfe Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Joe's Valley is good if you like to boulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-rock Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 If it's too warm to ski climb rock in the Cottonwoods. Â Hear Hear. Bring rock shoes, you'll just be disappointed if you bring crapons. At worst you can BOULDER in the cottonwoods and not drive all the way to Joe's. There's plenty of BETTER bouldering in utah than Joe's valley.

sweatinoutliquor Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 Okay, thanks folks. Pointy things are a pain to travel with anyway! Maybe I'll just go for a hike or something, and bring the shoes in the event that I find something to play on. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinker Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 (edited) Dig me up for a brew or some chow when you're in town. I'm pretty much tied to my office from 8 - 5 most days, but I'd be happy to lend you guidebooks or any gear you may need.

fgw Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Not sure how much free time you'll actually have, but if you got a full day Moab is only 4 hrs away. Better chance of dry weather and a lot warmer than SLC. Might find a partner at www.climbingmoab.com on short notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
