Hello all - long time reader and decided to join the forums today.

I'm planning a bachelor party for my best friend. The wedding is in December, so I'm trying to find some awesome climbing/hiking/camping somewhere in the US that isn't snowy/icy/wet. The southwest came to mind.

Someone at the gym recommended Sedona, which I'm currently looking into. We're looking for sport climbing (5.9 - 5.12), but nearby trad would be great too (less experience, so we have to move down a couple grades).

I'm really just looking for some general locations - perhaps specific parks or towns that I can start to research. We're from Florida and mostly climb the southeast and parts of CA. Not too familiar with the southwest yet!

Thanks!

Did my bachelor party in the cathedral spires in the black hills needles. Routes of all grades. Unreal location.

The Eastside of the Sierra - Lone Pine, Alabama Hills - Bishop, ORG. It can be cold but usually dry. The colder it gets around here the better the rock is. Also there is more Bouldering than you can imagine. Tons of free camping.

Really, there can't be another location other than Red Rocks. Party all night in Vegas, climb all day. Rest when you are either dead or married.

Just did my bachelor party in the Utah desert east of Green River, but Moab would be a good more civilized base. I had a few non-climber friends come along but there was plenty of other great stuff to do and they learned how to rappel on a couple of easy canyoneering routes. There is sport climbing to be had or of course Indian Creek for some splitter trad. Lots of places with great free camping. Good mountain biking too.

Some drove from Boulder or Grand Junction CO but most of us flew to Salt Lake City and rented an SUV.

Top of Lost Arrow Spire.

I've done two bachelor parties up there, and one even included a woman.

I wouldn't count on the Lost Arrow Spire. Raptor closure.
