Trips & Classes
Classes:
All classes are held by arrangement, usually at a location near San Diego. Pricing is typically $70 per person per day (up to 8 hours per day) for beginning and intermediate classes, $100 for advanced. Tips are always appreciated!
Private Guiding
Pricing for private guiding is typically $200 per person per day, depending on the location and scale of the climbing. These are intensive experiences at "adventure climbing" destinations throughout the Southwest. Destinations #5-10 below are open to negotiation, but will likely be more costly due to travel distance and seriousness of commitment. Tips are always appreciated!
All outings require an advance deposit of 50% of the total trip cost, refundable only in the event of bad weather, unsafe conditions, or other exceptional circumstances, based on our discretion.
Participants are required to complete a "Release and Acknowledgement of Risk" and "Medical Information Form" prior to their outing. Those under 18 years old must have a parent or guardian sign the form in advance.
