Reservations are required for all courses and guided climbs. To make a reservation, submit your completed reservation form and payment for 100% of the course fee. Payment must be received at least 14 days in advance of the course date to guarantee space availability. For reservations less than 14 days in advance, please call our office to guarantee availability.
Payment can be made by check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. You may use our automated registration form, or fax or mail in your completed reservation form when paying by credit card. Your reservation is confirmed when we receive your payment. We will then mail you information on the time and meeting place of your class, a map with directions to the climbing area, information on camping and motel reservations and a list of recommended textbooks. You will need to provide your own transportation to the climbing area, although we will assist you with carpool information if you so request. Classes meet at 8am and generally last until approximately 4pm. Weekend classes usually fill up 2 to 3 weeks in advance. Register early to avoid disappointment.

REFUNDS
You will receive a full refund (or you can reschedule) if we are forced to cancel your class or guided climb due to circumstances beyond our control, such as inclement weather. We will refund your payment in full (less a $25 cancellation/rescheduling fee per person) if you cancel or reschedule at least 10 days in advance of your scheduled date. Cancellations with less than ten days notice receive no refund, although you can reschedule with a 50% refund. Participants who do not show up forfeit their course fee.
GRATUITY
Many clients ask us if it is appropriate to tip their guide. Absolutely! As you will see your guide will be working very hard to assure you a safe and fun climbing experience. If you feel they did a good job, please feel free to tip your guide.
EQUIPMENT
We supply all of the rock climbing equipment, including harness and helmet, at no extra charge. Rock climbing shoes, which will enhance your performance, are recommended, and are available on a rental basis at $5 per day. For rock climbing classes, wear shorts, tights, loose fitting pants, or sweatpants. Bring water, lunch, sunscreen, perhaps a hat, and extra clothing in case of cold weather. For winter season classes at Joshua Tree (Nov. to March) we will send you our "Winter Clothing Guidelines". For Idyllwild courses lightweight hiking boots are recommended, along with a small daypack to carry your gear. You must supply your own food and camping gear if you wish to camp out.
GROUP DISCOUNTS
We offer a 10% discount for groups of 5 or more. Private groups can schedule any of our courses by appointment.
GIFT CERTIFICATES
A day of Guided Climbing or one of our courses makes a great gift. Gift certificates are available.
