Three Day Climbing School Locations & Times

Our Three Day Climbing School takes places at two main locations throughout the year - the world class climbing at Joshua Tree National Park from November through May and the awesome & historical crag climbing of Idyllwild from June through October.

All three days are full days with us meeting each morning around 8AM and usually climbing until sunset. Occasionally, we even continue on into the dark, with ropes and routes illuminated by firelight. On the second day, we take a look at historic gear in the evening.
