      Amazing 4 hour climb with 11 year old
      My 11 yo and I did a 4 hour afternoon with Nick who was amazing. My son had never climbed and Nick was a natural with him, giving lots of positive feedback. While Nick was clearly an expert, he was able to be flexible relaxed with us. My son really wanted to scramble as well which Nick guided us through. I can’t say enough- this company was incredible.

      Amazing family experience
      Our family had a fabulous day with Mason. He was so friendly, patient, great with our kids, and explained everything carefully. Not only did we feel 100% safe and comfortable with climbing and rappelling and navigating a very cool talus cave, but we had a blast doing it too. Thank you for an amazing day, Mason!

      Great Experience!
      On the 5th of October I went climbing with guide Jaden. It was my first time climbing on the rock by myself. Although I have some indoor experience, it's a bit different outdoors. Jaden looked after me brilliantly and chose very appropriate routes. I felt safe at all times and had a great time! An absolutely outstanding experience. If I ever go to Joshua Tree National Park again, I'll definitely book the tour again. I would recommend it to anyone. From beginners to experienced climbers.

      Great Climbing Trip
      I have gone on two climbing trips with Stone Adventures and each time was absolutely a blast. Everyone who works at this company is extremely friendly and they try to plan trips according to what you want to do. My most recent trip was with Jaden and I wanted to focus on how to build and break down top roping anchors. Jaden took the time to explain, demonstrate and allow me to practice. My partner and I really appreciated how much Jaden focused on what we wanted to do and get out of our climbing trip. I would recommend this company to all climbers with varying experience in climbing. I hope to climb with Stone Adventures again.

      Amazing first timer's experience!1
      This was for my 15-year-old! She has always loved to climb the walls at rock gyms and wanted to scale rock in real life! Jaden, our guide, is very knowledgeable, super patient, and kept us safe! My husband and I weren't as keen to climb but we tried and Jaden was encouraging! Jordan gave my daughter all sorts of tricks, tips, and guidance through her experience. Well done Stone Adventures!

      Awesome experience!
      I took my daughter (15) and son (13). My daughter loves climbing and my son not so much. We all had SO much fun. Our guide Steven (Stephen?) was incredible. There were routes we all could do and routes that challenged my daughter. I'm so glad we did it! Definitely memorable and well worth it!!!

      truly amazing experience
      Wow! What a memorable experience. I didn't think I could do this but I read other reviews, specifically one by Wanderer508886, where she mentioned Annie was able to help her conquer her fear of heights. Well, she did it again! I am very much afraid of heights and have 0 rock climbing experience, neither does my fiancé. I was super scared but she didn't feed our fear. Her calm and patient nature is so helpful. I will never forget this climb. It was challenging but I can't describe how awesome and euphoric it felt to have tried the climb. I highly highly reccommend. Eat light and don't have a cocktail before the climb.

      Amazing Rock Climbing Adventure
      This was the perfect intro rock climbing adventure for my wife and 2 boys (8 and 6). Our guide was wonderful, the views were spectacular, and we’ll never forget the experience. I highly recommend this company and experience!

      Best Climbing Guide in Joshua Tree
      We love Stone Adventures! We've climbed with them twice in Joshua Tree. Once for me and my son a few years ago, and once for our whole family (2 adults, 3 kids). The guides are awesome - they adjust to your climbing level, and are great at supporting you mentally and physically through the whole climbing process. They're fun, easy, and safe. We've climbed with multiple guides over the past few years and Stone Adventures is the best!

      Fantastic Adventure - A Must Do!
      What a magnificent experience - 4 hours of pure fun! We loved rock climbing so much that we are inspired to join a local rock climbing group in our town! Brad, our guide from Stone Adventure, was fabulous; safety was his #1 priority and having fun. His passion shined through during the entire adventure having shared a lot of history of the park and rock climbing in general. We asked a lot of questions, more for understanding rock climbing and all the equipment and he was so patient with us. He provided a lot of encouragement during our climbs (up and down!) and is a great teacher. Brad also took us rock scrambling through a maze of rocks that was incredible and over the top fun and adventurous. A must-do! Thank you, Brad - you are fantastic!

      Great Experience
      Great time! Stephen was patient with an inexperienced climber, all while keeping a good climber challenged. Made the most of our time with many different climbs from one location. Very good teacher. Felt very safe. Lots of fun!

      Great time!
      Stephen was such a great guide! He demonstrated how he sets up the rappelling equipment and let us practice on progressively higher and more difficult walls in the park as we got more comfortable. When we had a little extra time, he took us scrambling through a sweet maze of boulders, too. Had lots of fun and got some great views.

    Stone Adventures is the best climbing company in the high desert. We have had the pleasure of climbing with them for over 4 years now and each time we experience an epic climbing adventure in various places both in and outside the park. The guides are well prepared and the staff is always accommodating to any changes in our itinerary. I highly recommend Stone Adventures for any climbing adventures.

    We went on a family climb of 7 people, ages spanning 13 to 57 and everyone had a wonderful time. Alex and Connor were our guides/teachers and they were great. Very easy to talk to, helpful with ideas how to help or improve a climbing route for each of us. It was nice that the price per person did not increase based on having two instructors for our group. We would definitely do again if we are ever back in the area. Thanks for a great afternoon!

    INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE for our family of 6! I can't speak highly enough about Stone Adventures and our guides. They were fantastic with our kids, even the little ones only 5 and 6 , and helped everyone climb as far as they were comfortable . They were encouraging and also patient and very knowledgeable and professional. We had such a fun and interesting day and most importantly I felt my kids were in safe hands. I was really impressed at how the guides combined family-friendliness and real skill teaching. The customer service was also excellent-- I had originally booked this trip in March 2020 and obviously had to cancel, but they very happily honored our reservation nearly 2 years later and we couldn't have been more pleased. This was definitely the highlight of our california trip.

    Having recently returned from another wonderful crossing the country road trip, it is time to highlight those that made my trip most memorable, through writing madness on the internet.
    Jaden, thanks for an amazing day around JT! My wife and I had a blast with you, and again later that evening. We were hoping you might swing back by.
    We appreciate you being so accommodating with time, scheduling, and our skill levels. Twice a day I punch a wall and curse about not rappelling down. Next time.
    Thanks for showing travelers a great day!

    I called in the morning of the day we wanted to go climbing. Aaron was able to schedule a guide to go with my three kids ages 22,20 and 16 for that afternoon. Our guide Alex found a great place in Joshua Tree to climb with different challenges. The kids loved it. They each did five climbs. I would highly recommend this company and Alex as a guide.

    Thanks so much!

    Our Leaders were enthusiastic and their wit entertained our youngest group members (14-11). They were very encouraging and thorough in their explanations. Any and all fears were conquered by the end of our 4 hour rock climbing family trip. We give you boisterous and joy filled, “Thank You!” Stone Adventures. This was a much needed respite for us all.

    Can't say enough great things about our experience. We booked a half day for three adults and one child (age 9), all with little to no experience. We were paired with Stephen and Connor - they were amazing!! They were knowledgeable, supportive, and patient. Both were super encouraging and pushed us to challenge ourselves (in the best way possible). And most importantly, they were just fun to hang out with for the day. We all had a blast, and will definitely book again the next time we visit.

    What am amazing day this was! My kids (11 y/o girl and 10 y/o boy) and I do some occasional rock climbing at indoor gyms. We were on a vacation heading from LA to the Grand Canyon and decided to break up the trip with a stop at Joshua tree. They’ve always asked to try “real rock climbing” and this was a perfect opportunity. Stone Adventures was just outstanding! They provided all needed gear and were patient while we tried on many shoe pairs to get the right fit. Then when we headed to a rock Aron had a great spot picked out. 4 different routes on 1 rock so we had different experiences without wasting time. He gauged our skill level and adapted as we went to make it fun and also challenging. The temp was 105 but he found a perfectly shaded spot and it felt more like 80. Perfect weather and temp, especially for my wife who watched. He coached us, encouraged us, was always positive and even stayed a little late so we could get in 1 more route! It was a 2 week trip in total including stops in Disneyland, SD and Vegas yet we all agreed, this was the highlight of the trip! We’d use them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend Stone!

    Luke, Alex and Greg led our group of nine people, all different ages and abilities on a perfect climbing experience. Some of us it was a first time, for others it was the chance to practice. We met Alex and Luke at the office around 8 where all gear was supplied (shoes, harnesses, helmets and even extra jackets). Greg had gone ahead into the park and secured some lines so we weren't left waiting while lines were set up. All three were supportive of the newbies, encouraging those that wanted to climb harder and at all times made sure we were safe. We've been going to Joshua Tree NP for years but the first time we arranged a climb. Hands down one of the best experiences we've had, we would love to do it again! Highly recommended!

    Aron and crew were fantastic. We were there with 4 adults and 3 kids all aged 12. They were very supportive and patient with us newbies and made the experience a lot of fun. Joshua Tree’s landscape was something out of Mars. Glad my son’s first experience was with Aron. He talked him through a very difficult climb of which only 2 of 7 of the group could do! Great memories. Highly recommend!
