Life as a Professional Rock Climbing Guide

Intro Outdoor Rock Climbing San Diego

We cannot express enough how happy we are to be able teach rock climbing as a full time profession. Our guides are passionate climbers who rather participate in a climbing lifestyle over practicing a hobby. Our life (for many parts) is rock climbing! And exactly that keeps us going out again and again to teach these awesome vertical skills… over and over. It never gets boring thanks to the many different programs that are in demand. From top rope climbing, advanced anchoring and lead climbing to guided multi-pitch climbs and rescuing classes… The smiles of our clients and the happiness that is created on our outings… That’s what keeps us fresh and motivated to guide. Can’t wait to see you out on the cliffsThis photo was taken by @troydoney Please check out his feed… He has got some awesome photography to show.

Exploring the NorthEast Side of Joshua Tree National Park

Intro Outdoor Rock Climbing San Diego

We came across this beautiful boulder. The dike on it just looks amazing. Fabi is just fumbling around on the fun hanging start… Who knows if it goes or was previously sent? Certainly not a gimme.credit: our friend and partner Mike D. Check out @nakededgephotography Follow him for more badass climbing and mountain photography

Fun Scrambling Circuit Yesterday in Joshua Tree

Intro Outdoor Rock Climbing San Diego

This one is a beautiful corner climb on Belle campground. The weather was epic with strong winds, clouds, sun and rain… Just perfect for desert roaming before the storm rolls in. Now homeward bound San Diego

Great Day Out Climbing in Joshua Tree Yesterday

Intro Outdoor Rock Climbing San Diego

We hiked out to the North Wonderland to climb some more remote classics! It was gorgeous out and seemingly we were the only folks out there. Here, Fabi is climbing the amazing chimney start of “Gumshoe, 5.11a” Mike D.

Gorgeous Morning at Eagle Peak

Intro Outdoor Rock Climbing San Diego

When the first sunlight hit the top of the cliff. The clouds were hanging so down low in the valley making hills look like islands in the sea. We were grateful for some fine SoCal winter weather and of course superb desert granite. Always great to climb in the San Diego “backcountry”

Hand Lining Down a Fixed Line in Red Rock canyon

Intro Outdoor Rock Climbing San Diego

The rainbow wall which thrones high above a massive alcove is accessed by this water gully… as seen in the picture, there is mostly a fixed line which facilitates the approach. The “Original Route” on Rainbow wall is one of the better climbs we have done lately… a must do for every 5.12 climber. @bloomstadt
