The Details
CLIMBING AT JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK
Guided climbing and instruction are available for climbers of all skill levels, from first-time beginners to intermediate and advanced climbers. All of our guides are AMGA Apprentice Rock Guides or AMGA Single Pitch Instructors and are experts at finding the right climbs for you. In order to make sure everyone gets exactly what they need, we’ll focus on Intro instruction designed for those who have never climbed before, Intermediate instruction for climbers wanting to climb in the 5.5-5.9 range (best for those who have some experience, but perhaps have never climbed outside), and Advanced for climbers wanting to join our guides on more difficult routes.
Climbers will have the opportunity to choose where they climb each day. For our climb and camp weekend we will maintain a 1:5 guide to climber ratio.
CAMPING AT CAMP NYLEN
We will be hosting the retreat at Camp Nylen, a 10-acre, private basecamp near Joshua Tree National Park. Camp Nylen is surrounded by wide open space, and we’ll have it all to ourselves. Under a large, metal sun shelter mounted on a concrete pad, the campground has two large park-grade picnic tables, a 5,000 gallon water tank, an ADA-sized porta-potty that is serviced weekly, a large propane fire pit, and beautiful rock formations and native flora and fauna all around. The overall feel is your own private National Park in the desert. There is no cell reception or internet access at Camp Nylen. We will have emergency communication capabilities should we need them, but the goal is to disconnect in order to reconnect with ourselves and each other
