Rappel Joshua Tree

Highlights

The thrill of a vertical adventure without having to rock climb. No prior experience required.
Our Rappelling Programs are all private and you will not be grouped with another party.
We’ll start by teaching you basic rappelling skills, familiarize you with the equipment and do some practice runs low to the ground. We’ll then take the adventure to new heights (pun intended) by scrambling up the back sides of some of the more accessible rock formations, then rappelling down their vertical or even overhanging main faces!

Summary

Our Learn to Rappel Joshua Tree Program is for anyone who is looking to experience the thrill of a vertical adventure without having to rock climb.

Why take this tour?

Our Learn to Rappel Joshua Tree Program is for anyone who is looking to experience the thrill of a vertical adventure without having to rock climb. No prior experience required, and all ages are welcome! Our Rappelling Programs are all private and you will not be grouped with another party. This allows us to customize the day to suit your specific needs, and what you are looking to get out of it. We’ll start by teaching you basic rappelling skills, familiarize you with the equipment and do some practice runs low to the ground. We’ll then take the adventure to new heights (pun intended) by scrambling up the back sides of some of the more accessible rock formations, then rappelling down their vertical or even overhanging main faces!

What’s included?

All necessary equipment is provided free of additional charge.
In an attempt to keep our rates low for you, we do not provide snacks or beverages . Nice “grab n’ go” lunches can be purchased at the Roadrunner Café, which is attached to the Visitor’s Center where we meet though.

Things to know

Before you book

Our guide to participant ratio is 1:4, so if you have more than 4 participants in your party you will have multiple guides, which means even more rappelling!
Rappelling is offered in half day (4 hours) and full day (8 hours) formats. If you wear out early or decide that rappelling isn’t for you, we can switch it up with a tour of one of the park’s unique corridors, a nice hike, or some technical skill building (like how to make a climbing anchor, etc.) on the ground.
Our programs are set to default start times of 8am and 1pm, but we are happy to change this once you have made a reservation. Changing the start time will result in a shorter overall program in most cases because your guide is likely booked for a program after yours, and the sun sets early for much of our season.

Before you go

All necessary equipment is provided free of additional charge.
Our default meeting location is the Joshua Tree National Park Visitor’s Center parking lot (6554 Park Blvd. Joshua Tree, CA 92252) You will receive a booking confirmation with a map link and more details. Meeting location is flexible, please contact us to arrange an alternative
In an attempt to keep our rates low for you, we do not provide snacks or beverages . Nice “grab n’ go” lunches can be purchased at the Roadrunner Café, which is attached to the Visitor’s Center where we meet though.
You will need to follow your guide into Joshua Tree National Park in your own vehicle, probably a half hour or less to most climbing spots
Our days end out in the park. Keep this in mind when you’re planning. You might want to drive around and see some sights or watch the sunset and unwind afterward.
