February in Albuquerque

Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for where and what to climb around Albuquerque, NM in February...to be exact the last full week in February.
I have to be out there for a trade show, and will have free days to climb/explore.

As for my level...trad 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, some 5.9 if it's friendly. Sport...up to 5.10a. I tend not to climb out of my comfort zone.

Any advice/direction would be appreciated. Thanks!

I would say it really depends on the weather while you are here, which is quite unpredictable. If it is warm and sunny you can do some stuff in the Sandias, right next to ABQ, at your level I'd recommend Estrelita and Miss Piggy. If it's too snowy or cold for the Sandias head to Socorro, Diablo Canyon, or White Rock, those are the all the closest to ABQ.

Cheers!
