The Details
CLIMBING AROUND MOAB
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 trained by either the AMGA or PCGI 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.
Each day we will have a group climbing at different areas around Moab. For our climb and camp weekend we will maintain a 1:5 guide to climber ratio.
CAMPING
We will be hosting the retreat at Ken's Lake Recreation Area*. Situated near Ken's Lake, these group sites offer beautiful views of the Moab Valley and access to nearby swimming and hiking opportunities. From our site, it is a short hike over to the lake or up to a man-made waterfall. Hiking trails from the campground allow us to explore the beautiful red rock canyons.
We provide tents, sleeping bags, and a twin size air mattress for a small fee. We ask that participants bring their own pillows.
*We are only able to book campsites 6 months in advance so there is a chance that we will have to camp elsewhere in Moab for our fall retreats.

What is the Pay What You Can Option?
We want everyone who wants to attend one of our events to have the opportunity to come. Regardless of their financial status.
That's why we created a Pay What You Can option for people who can't afford it or find the cost to be inhibitive. The process is simple and trust based. We believe in the integrity of our participants and we aren't here to judge anyone's financial situation.
We ask that possible participants ask themselves these two questions before taking us up on this option:
- Would you be able to comfortably afford attendance without a scholarship? (I see comfortably afford to mean that attendance wouldn’t put you in a financially stressful position.)
- Are you in need of a full or partial scholarship?
From there, we have created discount codes in varying amounts to use at checkout so climbers can attend for as little as $50.
Use these codes at checkout to apply the scholarship:
- c&c325 for $325 off the total cost
- c&c275 for $275 off the total cost
- c&c200 for $200 off the total cost
- c&c100 for $100 off the total cost
We kindly request that participants only use these codes if they NEED the financial assistance to attend so that we can continue this program for years to come. At the moment it is being funded by small donations from past participants and She Moves Mountains owner Lizzy VanPatten.
