Not been to Utah before and I am planning a mountain bike and rock climbing trip. I know where the biking is but where is the climbing? I am looking for tall multi-pitch stuff and some sport routes.
How far would I have to drive from Moab to get to some good places?
What are the temperatures like in March in Southern Utah?
Thanks

Tall multipitch trad? Hit Castleton Tower...North Chimney or Kor Ingalls. There's not a big amount of sport climbing in the area but there is Mill Creek up in the LaSals, it's all bolted up there but it'll probably still be too cold up there in March. And it doesn't much direct sun so snow might be likely too.
If it's your first trip to Moab, the best place to start out and get a lot of climbing in is Potash Rd/Wall St area. Mostly one and some two pitch routes that all have bolts/anchors up top. Everything from 5.7 to 5.12 mainly trad.
