hey, chicos!

i'm going to boulder to catch up with a friend this june. from there, we're planning to drive down to moab for an epic journey into the desert

my doubts:
- would it be climbable, or it'd be too damn hot?
- we climb 5.11 sport, but suck at trad and crack climbing (probably would do a 5.8 hanging on the draws for 1h, but will have fun).. do you recommend routes, crags or towers for moab- begginers?? please, well protected routes..
- any other area around we should not miss?

thanks for the help!!
abraços,

Most climbers would consider June in Moab too hot, although you can follow the shade. Expect extremely warm to very hot temperatures. I certainly wouldn't plan it as a major destination trip for that time of year. Do some investigation of alternate areas in case you decide Moab is unclimbable.

There are very few sport routes in and around Moab, with Mill Creek Canyon being the exception. Although, while Mill Creek is technically sport, the routes are rather run-out compared to other sport climbing areas.
