Zion in Feb/Mar - Scrambling and Climbing?

Possibly headed to St. George for a bit in late Feb/early March and would like to take advantage of the adjacency to Zion for climbing+scrambling. However, I'm a bit of a Zion noob and am clueless about the likely state of snow/ice/runoff. 

Specifically, I'm wondering about:

•  5.10ish free routes with S/E/W exposure: Iron Messiah, ACL Arete, Made to be Broken (or any other suggestions)
  • Will most of these be good to go, or do they seep in the winter? And will they be reasonable temps-wise?
• Namaste Wall 
  • Pretty sure it'll be cold AF but a guy can dream
• 4th/low 5th dome scrambles on the east side (Bridge, Deertrap, Spry, Twin Brothers, etc) or other misc desert adventuring (Lady Mtn, Cowboy Ridge, canyoneering, etc)
  • I've gathered both from photos and lack of ticks in Feb/March that a lot of the summits and canyons will hold snow for some time but I'm curious if there's any with good views that are reliably 'in'

Obviously Snow Canyon has its charms, but Zion is such a special place it'd be great to get to spend more time there. 

As for scrambling, I did the Original Route on Lady Mountain and East Ridge on North Guardian Angel Peak this past May. I would assume Original Route would be in the shade pretty much all day but I'm not sure. Both were fun but Original Route was more of a hike than a scramble, with 2 distinct 5th class sections. East Ridge was really fun though and was a scramble the whole way with belay/rap stations if needed. It should be mostly sunny on that one I believe

Specifically, I'm wondering about:

•  5.10ish free routes with S/E/W exposure: Iron Messiah, ACL Arete, Made to be Broken (or any other suggestions)
  • Will most of these be good to go, or do they seep in the winter? And will they be reasonable temps-wise? 
• So far with the current winter conditions (very dry and warm with no snow), 
• Iron Messiah, ACL Arete and Made to be broken would be climbable if conditions remain the same in Feb-March, periods of snow or rain and cold temperatures will vary in the months to come. Iron Messiah is a chimney system and Made to be broken and ACL have fragile holds and afternoon sun only on clear days, dry time will very, see the sandstone conditions thread (and post your observations to it) zionclimbingcoalition.com/blog has a link to help with wet rock forecasting, explaining how to use the resource to get the information you need. 
• Namaste Wall 
  • Pretty sure it'll be cold AF but a guy can dream
  • Historically no, but this year may be different, check the blog link and see whats happening with precip prior to your trip. 
• 4th/low 5th dome scrambles on the east side (Bridge, Deertrap, Spry, Twin Brothers, etc) or other misc desert adventuring (Lady Mtn, Cowboy Ridge, canyoneering, etc)
  • I've gathered both from photos and lack of ticks in Feb/March that a lot of the summits and canyons will hold snow for some time but I'm curious if there's any with good views that are reliably 'in'
  • Possibly, cowboy ridge is frequented during those months during good bouts of weather, lady mountain varies and the others depending on snow. 
  • hope this helps, the Desert Rat St. George is a local gear shop with guidebook resources and and enthusiastic staff that get out a lot. As does Amazing Adventures in La Verkin, these are great places to check in on for conditions when you arrive. 
  • Enjoy!

I climbed a route called Ashtar Command 5.9 in December 2024 in the afternoon. If I remember correctly, the first pitch is east facing and the second traverses out north. Can't recommend this climb enough. Heres a video of me on the second pitch.

For hiking/scrambling check out the Mountain of the Sun summit route.  Probably similar difficulty to Lady Mountain, with a longer approach hike.  Not sure about snow, but it will likely be present in some of the canyons.

And a more complex link with Spry Canyon and Mt Spry.
