I'm going to be spending a few days in Taos this week. I've been told that Utopian Vistas is a good place to do sport routes. But I was also told that a lot of them are mixed routes. Since I don't have any trad gear, mixed would be no bueno.

Are there any other recommendations for sport climbing in the Taos area?

I really like comales canyon. Fun climbs, beautiful setting.

Thanks for the recommendations. I didn't have as much time to climb as I would have liked while I was in Taos. But I ended up climbing at John's Wall just outside of town. That basalt was weird and tricky! Also had a blast bouldering near Pilar. I'll have to check out Comales and El Rito next time I'm down there. Cheers.
