Climb Smart, now in it’s 25th year, brings together the largest gathering of climbers in Joshua Tree to kick off the climbing season with new programs, athletes and the same great elements that support responsible recreation in our beloved Park. 

  • Give Back to Joshua Tree National Park through supporting FOJT, JOSAR, H.A.R.P., Climber Stewards and Climbers Coffee and representation of the climbing community
  • Brush up trad skills through clinics each day of Climb Smart with certified pro guides and instructors
  • Swag yourself out with raffles, auctions and the mighty Vendor Village at Climb Smart
  • Get inspired with top athletes from around the country, as well as insight into Josh climbing by experienced locals
  • Camp under the stars for some high desert camping in an official Dark Sky Park, and get some amazing star-gazing in the Joshua Tree Astronomy Arts Theater (at the venue)
  • Learn Leave No Trace practices, and participate in a special Park Restoration Stewardship project 
  • Get to know the various disciplines in climbing, and which direction might be best for you, without the slow boat ‘trial and error’ approach
