Itinerary: 

Day 1 ARRIVAL DAY: We tr

Day 1: This course starts at 9 AM on Wednesday, where the group will dive right into JTree climbing. Today is about the scene size up. What is this area about? What's the climbing style? Where do I find the Jtree wonder? What is the average wingspan of that Dark-Eyed Junco yonder? We will try to answer these questions today to understand this marvelous place's full value.

We will explore with a little walkabout and boulder in an area close to camp.

An evening dinner under the stars followed by some excellent sleep in the Desert. The scene we set up in the desert is unmatched. A cozy nook in the middle of the oasis is arguably the most enjoyable part of the experience.

Day 2 GET THE DUST OFF: Wake up in the beautiful Mojave Desert! 

After a light stretch, the team takes an hour or two to converse with the National Park Service over coffee and help them with a light and fun task before climbing. It always feels good to give back to these places we often overlook helping. 

After we meet with the NPS, the gang will embark on the rock around 11 AM. Today is about diving into the Trad climbing Workshop. 

Ground School: 

• Trad Protection 

• Placement 

• Climbing Technique

• Gear Anchors 

Push yourself, and you’ll be rewarded with stunning views overlooking this otherworldly landscape. After a full day of climbing, we'll head back to the campground to smash a feed and have a fire. We will hang out for the rest of the evening under the winter stars getting to know the team and swapping stories.  

Day 3 FULL BURN: Early to rise for coffee, some breakky, and a light stretch to start the day.

Today, we wrap up our workshop! With a day full of climbing!

In the afternoon, the group will explore the talas caves of JTree. Hike and crawl your way through the underground passages of this unique national park! This is a rare way to see the park and move through its specialized landscapes.

Evening dinner and chillin around the fire for our final night as a team!  

Day 5 EXIT STRATEGY: We drop folks off in LA at around 12PM after an awesome camp breakfast!

A fond farewell to a beautiful place with new friends and skills made!
