Isolation Canyon in December

The forecast around Pine next week calls for temperatures in the 60s, which seems warm for this time of year. Is it possible to climb in the canyon, or is that just plain dumb?

For reference, climbing in Mormon Canyon has been fine when Sedona is in the 50s but I don’t know the wind conditions in Isolation Canyon.

Would appreciate words of encouragement/discouragement if you’ve been out there in a dry winter.

The winter wall is nice.  Very sunny

Buy the guidebook for recommendations on where to climb in winter. I've been there comfortably in lower temps than 60 with snow on the ground.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
