Rock Climbing in Joshua Tree National Park, Full Day

Come visit one of the most beautiful places in the Western United States and climb across the vast desert wilderness of Joshua Tree National Park! This guided rock climbing program focuses on the fundamentals of the sport and provides practical instruction on basic routes to more complex ascents for intrepid climbers!

Located in southern California roughly two and a half hours east of Los Angeles, Joshua Tree National Park is a symbolic desert destination for tourists and travelers, notably outdoor athletes who want first-hand experience on its ancient geology. The park, home to multiple mountain ranges and a couple of deserts, is slightly larger than the entire state of Rhode Island. The perfect place for an unforgettable rock climbing expedition!

Your program places you in the middle of this stunning landscape, ascending an array of terrain and climbing routes. From boulders and basic single-pitch lines to complex multi-pitch climbs, there is something for every level, shape, and size in Joshua Tree. Different surface climbs include cracks, slabs, roofs, and chimneys, just to name a few. Our options are endless on the abundant and unique rock formations.

Beginning early in the morning from our offices in Joshua Tree, we will head to our climbing location and spend a full day perusing the rocks and experiencing the wilderness. There are options deep into the park that necessitate an hour long hike, or we can start pitching the minute we step out of the car. The goal is to spend seven to eight hours taking on the objectives and challenges that suit your needs and abilities.

This program is open to all types of rock climber, whether you are a beginner or a grizzled veteran. Let me know what you are looking for in a perfect day climb, and we will tailor a trip that is made just for you. A general fitness and understanding of the physical nature of rock climbing are the only prerequisites.

Instruction will include climbing technique and movement on the rock, proper equipment use and storage, safety while climbing, and so much more. You will finish the day with a wealth of new information to use on your next climbs. Pro tip: keep your eyes peeled for a classic desert sunset – another one of the remarkable features of this fascinating location.
