Hello, I’m planning on visiting Santa Fe around Christmas.  Would you be willing to point me in the right direction for some easy to moderate sport climbing? Weather dependent of course.  Maybe within an hour-ish drive. Any other suggestion for food, hikes, attractions?   Thank you and happy holidays.

The Winter Wall in Diablo canyon just outside Santa Fe has a good bit of moderate sport climbing and is popular in winter. About 40 minutes away is Gallows Edge near White Rock/Los Alamos. Another 20 minutes or so past Los Alamos is Las Conchas which has a good bit of east and south-facing sport climbing and is a beautiful area to hike.

Just be aware that many routes at the Winter Wall are taller than your typical single pitch route, so a 70 or 80 m rope may be necessary.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
