Are you ready for a weekend of camping, rock climbing and connecting with amazing women in Joshua Tree National Park? This 2-day introduction to outdoor climbing is for anyone who is new to climbing and who is excited to learn and challenge themselves in an adventurous way.
We will spend the weekend camping at Indian Cove Campground in Joshua Tree National Park and learning how to rock climb at two different climbing sites in the park!
We're partnering with local guides who have 15+ years of experience and who are well trained to facilitate any level of climbing with the most fun, patient, and hands on approach.
In two rock climbing sessions, we will explore the wonderful world of rock climbing in a world -
class area.

We recommend driving (you can carpool with other gals who are joining us – we will create a group chat for everyone), bringing a cooler with food, and bringing a tent + camp stove!
