More Info
Rock climbers first came flocking to Joshua Tree National Park as a wintertime practice area while Yosemite and other parts of the Sierra Nevada were covered in snow.
However, overtime it became a rock climbing destination in its own right. Today, the park boasts thousands of named routes that are perfect for climbers of every level and aptitude.
The vast majority of the rock available for climbing in Joshua Tree is composed of high-quality quartz monzonite, a type of granite that is perfect for climbing.
This makes the park the perfect spot for beginners learning how to move and navigate on the rock as well as advanced climbers planning to challenge themselves with an ascent in the 250-vertical meter ascent in the Hidden Valley.
The park is also the ideal place for self-rescue courses as well as a variety of other climbing related clinics.
