Now that snow/winter is upon us, what are the best areas in LCC to continue climbing? Also some in BCC?
To clarify, sport climbing in the .10's and .11's.

Partial thread hijack - also areas with trad up to the low 11s (9s and 10s ideal).

For LCC anywhere from the Bong Eater to the Dragon Arch see's good sun all winter. That about covers both your questions minus the sport climbing stuff.

For Spurt climbing, the S-Curves can be sunny and nice in the winter. Probably the best stone in the Wasatch too ;)

Aquaworld/Aqueduct seem warmer, less windy, and drier than s-curves in the winter. The south facing fergies cliffs are decent winter crags too. +1 for bongeater.

For both trad and sport, there are many days when Psychobabble and Bumble Bee Wall are dry. Both face due south. The Red Rock Wall should also be good to go when things dry out.

Thanks for the info. I am planning on checking some of these places out.

I hear Momentum is dry this time of year. Be sure to get yer flu shot, it can be crowded.

looks like you won't have to worry about snow this year. Cheers!
