We had the best time ever! Highly recommended!!! Our guide Matt was so nice, professional and fun! This was our first time doing rock climbing and we were able to climb to the top. If you worry if you can do it, we are not a huge athletic people so don’t worry. I’m not saying it’s easy and it’s definitely challenging but you will enjoy very much.

Great memorable time.
Iwona, Nov 2023
My daughter and myself had a fantastic time with Andrew. I would recommend him to anyone from very beginner to more advanced level. He made sure we get all support and encouragement we need to conquer the walls. He made us feel safe, well-protected, and challenged within our abilities. Andrew is just a great human being and was fun to have on this 4 hr. climbing adventure.
Authentic, Challenging, Engaging.

Amazing experience. Authentic way to experience Joshua Tree. Murphy, our guide, was fun to be with, knowledgeable, chill and listened to our wishes and brought an experience that met our goals and wishes. He had our 14 and 11 year old sons totally engaged and he took time to educate them and give pro-tips vs. just doing everything for them. The climbs were challenging but safe and each of us felt successful and proud. Highly recommend. Felt personalized, not scripted.

Excellent. Thank you for coming out Anne, and thanks for the great review too!
Climbing on rocks in a beautiful setting

I had the time of my life! It was a one on one lesson with me and Murphy. He geared it to my fitness level. It was my very first experience with climbing so I was definitely a beginner. I did 3 climbs and Murphy was very patient with me. Very encouraging. I had a great day.
Great Experience

My guide Joe is obviously a professional at rock climbing, and he was very patient in coaching me as a first timer to rock climbing. I was able to climb 3 different routes and successfully completed 2 of them. JTNP is indeed a world class rock climbing paradise, the view is spectacular.
Best experience ever!! Must try!!

The Best Climb Around

It was so cool we got to do this just the two of us with a guide, we got a lot more climb time and personal attention. We learned a lot and loved it!
Excellent
Stephanie_G, Mar 2022
My 12 yo daughter and I did a morning climb. We are novices. Our guide did a great job of introducing us to climbing, while also challenging us. We felt safe the entire time. A great way to experience JTNP. If you’re considering this trip, go for it.
A wonderful experience

We decided somewhat last minute that we wanted to go rock climbing in Joshua Tree and booked a tour with Mojave Guides through Viator. I initially asked the company about whether someone with MS would be able to climb and was touched that Seth did the research and learned more about the disease to be able to fully answer the question. Our family member with MS didn't end up attending, but the effort was so appreciated. We had an absolute BLAST climbing. Murphy was a wonderful guide that accommodated our climbing levels and preferences on a windy day. He was very funny, encouraging, and even taught one of our group to belay. He made sure everyone had a great time and answered every single question we had. Booking through Viator, I wasn't necessarily sure what to expect - I was absolutely thrilled with our experience. I would highly recommend Mojave Guides and Murphy. Climbing in Joshua Tree was such a unique way to experience the park and I am so grateful for the memories.
