Top bouldering picks for January
Hueco Tanks
The desert winter classic. November through March is the reliable window — also when guided tours and North Mountain reservations are busiest.

A winter and shoulder-season classic. Mornings are cold, but winter sun on south-facing sectors like Sol y Sombra warms the sandstone quickly.
See 30 years of weather data →Cresciano
Low-lying Ticino gneiss with almost no off-season — one of the few places in Europe that climbs well through winter and early spring.
