Rock Climbing/Rappelling in Zion National Park
 

Zion Area Rock Climbing/Rappelling 
 
Conditions to be aware of: 
 
The best conditions for  climbing are from March through May and September through early November. Climbing in the  summer can be extremely hot, especially on unshaded walls.

 •Due to the nature of sandstone, climbing is not recommended for inexperienced climbers. The climbs here are high, exposed,  big wall climbs. Because of Zion’s 2,000 foot cliffs few areas are suitable for top roping.

•There are no sport climbing opportunities in Zion.

 •Sandstone is weak when wet. Avoid climbing in damp areas or after rain. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in July and  August. Thin wafer-like holds should not be trusted. Brush the sand off the rock before  attempting delicate friction moves.
