Climb Smart re-postponed to November 5-7, 2021

Out of an abundance of concern for safety and caring for the local community of Joshua Tree, Friends Of Joshua Tree’s board of directors has decided to again postpone our signature event, Climb Smart in Joshua Tree, to November 2021. The New Dates are NOVEMBER 5-7, 2021.

These are actually the regular Fall season kickoff dates that bring the climbing community together as the Fall climbing season gets underway, and we are chomping at the bit to gather again, especially in this crucial year. Joshua Tree National Park is embarking on a new Climbing Management Plan to guide policy and decision-making for the next 15-20 years. The last plan was done in 1993! Our voices as active, responsible stewards of our Park have never been more important. 

If you are registered for Climb Smart, your registration will automatically roll over and will be honored as full registration regardless of any price increases we may (likely) incur due to extra expenses to manage a transmission-free event. If you haven’t registered, there are a few dozen spots open and the organization, in consultation with guiding organizations, the county of San Bernardino, JOSAR and Park leadership, will expand open slots accordingly as vaccines continue to mitigate the spread and threat of COVID-19, and we learn more about the behavior of the virus, effective therapies and potential variants.
