Joshua Tree Single-Pitch and Multi-Pitch Climbing Trip, California

Come climb with us in the beautiful Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California! As one of the most densely concentrated climbing areas (per square mile) in the state, it is sure to have a perfect climb – or 20 – for you!

Set in the California desert of the western United States, Joshua Tree National Park attracts tourists and travelers all year round for a number of outdoor activities. The climate and geology are equally unique and inviting for those in search of a compelling experience in nature.

The park itself covers an area larger than Rhode Island, and its vastness provides different ecosystems at varying elevations. Rocky outcroppings are common, and some of the geoformations are dated as far back as 1.7 billion years. Joshua Tree is home to six different mountain ranges as well.

And while camping, hiking, and astronomy are popular among visitors to the park, adventurers come for the rocks and the ability to climb them. The volume of routes is more than impressive; they are generally short, so you can make multiple runs in a day over new and exciting climbs.

The granite has escaped the polish of the elements, like snow and rain, which takes its toll on other locations. This means the rough quartz monzonite is a phenomenal rock for climbing. And because of the massive size of the park and the number of routes, there are plenty of beginning, intermediate, and advanced climbing courses. There are single-pitch and multi-pitch options for everyone.

Access to climbing is also fairly easy. This trip will ensure you have the most time out on the rocks as possible, so you can dedicate the majority of your day to having a blast in this incredible environment!

We have extensive experience guiding in the region, and I can find a program tailored just for your skills and abilities. If you want the opportunity to climb all day and gain experience on a high number of routes, we will make sure you come back from Joshua Tree excited and ready to plan for your next trip.

There are courses for everyone. For the more challenging levels, any prior climbing experience will be an asset.

Stop waiting and start BOOKING this trip to Joshua Tree! You won't regret getting your hands dirty at one of California’s most iconic rock climbing destinations!

We can also take you a little further into the Sierra Nevada mountains for some beautiful alpine climbing on some of the most iconic granite peaks in the United States, topping out over 14,000'! Or we can stick around San Diego for some single-pitch climbing at Mission Gorge!
