Climb Smart

Hosted by Friends of Joshua Tree, Climb Smart brings climbers together for a weekend of climbing, education, stewardship, and community in Joshua Tree National Park. Throughout the weekend, professional climbing guides lead hands-on mini-clinics and climbing sessions covering a variety of skills and experience levels. Evening programs feature catered dinners, presentations, entertainment, gear giveaways, and opportunities to connect with fellow climbers, guides, and outdoor brands. Climb Smart celebrates the start of Joshua Tree’s climbing season, with education and stewardship at the heart of the event and a focus on building a positive, responsible climbing community. Ready to climb? Early bird registration is available for $279 through September 30! This event is proudly supported by Visit 29 Palms' Sponsorship & Event Grant Program.
