Moab sport climbing AREA

Best crags depend on when you go and what you like.

It would be a shame to go and not do a desert tower-- but if you are not used to this kind of climbing (rock can be very sandy and loose!!), start VERY easy !

Castleton and the Fisher Towers are famous and amazing. . . other towers can be climbed in Arches National Park about 5k north of Moab (though the city keep growing-- it may be closer now!)

If you LOVE cracks, there are hundreds or thousands of nearly parallel cracks for every had size and then some-- bring every cam you have and all your friends' friends !

Lots of tape and some burley boots for the fist+. Mill Creek Canyon just behind Moab is good for the summer-- it's fairly cool-- and has bolted sport routes on limestone.

There's bouldering in several places, and drive-up short sport and crack along Potash Road. . . OH-- but in the sandstone, even the pins and bolts aren't super reliable.

ake all the fixed pro with a grain of sand. . . be redundant, bring a helmet ...

You can get books in Moab -- visit pagan Mountaineering, back of Beyond Bookstore. . .

27crags, climbervoice, 8a and many others are amazing sites, but sometimes, expecially if you worked a lot to envision, bolt, clean routes or boulders, you want to monetize a little your efforts.

9b can help you in this aim.

As you can see here, in 9b there are many " topo groups ".

You can add a discussion in every "topo group".

In your discussion you can edit and publish your own climbing topoguide, as a "paywall", a "destination page", requiring climbers their payment by credit card or paypal to access and read, even on SMARTPHONES (iphones, android phones, ...)
