Craggin’ Days 2026
World Class Sport Climbing. World Class Views.
Join us this spring for a weekend of climbing and learning in the Alabama Hills in Lone Pine, CA. Whether you are just starting out or an experienced climber looking to sharpen your technical skills, these weekends are a great way to push your comfort zone in a safe and supportive environment. The list of things you can learn at Craggin’ Days is long and “build your own adventure” is the rule of the day. Come with questions, leave with answers and new climbing friends.
The granite monzonite (think Joshua Tree with 30 second approaches and epic views) puts a premium on footwork and balance, making this a perfect opportunity to tighten your game. If lead climbing is your focus, we’ll take you through the process step by step.
We typically camp locally at Tuttle Creek Campground. You are responsible for your camp kit, food etc but we share sites. and I bring a well appointed camp kitchen. Oh, and I bake great deserts.
March 28 - 29
April 4 - 5, 11 - 12
Cost: $330*
Includes harness, helmet, shoes, as needed.
*Over the years, I’ve learned, albeit slowly, that the quality of Craggin’ Days weekends are directly proportional to the diversity and number of climbers participating. I’ve significantly lowered the cost of these weekends in hopes of making professionally guided climbing experiences more accessible to all. Join us, won’t you?
“I spent 3 days climbing with Clay at the Ground Up adult climbing camp. It was a fantastic experience! I’d been trying to move from gym climbing to outdoor climbing for a while, and I learned more from Clay in just a few days than I had in months of trying to learn on my own.”
