Joshua Tree

Rock climbing in Joshua Tree National Park.  Our focus is always on safety
and having fun!  We continually are able to find a variety climbs for rock
leaders and for those who just want to top rope.  This gives everyone plenty
to work on at their own pace.  Dinner at Edchadas and a campfire Saturday
night at our Indian Cove group campsite.  Parking will be limited on this
trip, so carpooling is a must.  Send SASE with experience or e-mail Joe at
