The desert town of Moab hosts spectacular craggin’ across a number of climbing area only minutes from downtown. Based on your climbing goals, we’ll select the perfect zone to gently ease you into desert climbing and then put you some test pieces to keep you dreaming about coming back. Join us for an unforgettable adventure in the desert!

Moab is best enjoyed with some cragging days in the desert, sampling desert cracks and beautiful sandstone, then taking some time during the evening for a fantastic dinner and stroll around town.

Fitness

Moderate physical climbing fitness is strongly recommended. Climbing 5.10-5.11 on top rope in the gym or 5.9’s outside is an ideal base level of fitness. Indian Creek has mostly vertical crack climbing and can feel like an intensely physical pursuit until those techniques are honed in. Climbers should be able to hike and climb for approximately 6-8 hours while carrying a medium sized crag pack.
