With close to 18 years climbing experience on the sandstone cracks of the dessert, this very might well be Joe’s favorite place to climb in the world.  If it’s a crack clinic you want, then look no further.

Don’t be intimidated by what you have heard, yes crack climbing in the dessert is sustained, but there are many moderates to get your feet wet and learn the tools and techniques that will help you enjoy this amazing crack zone even more.  If it’s adventure climbing you are after then look no forward, the Sandstone towers in the Castle Valley, surrounding National Parks, and distant spires near Indian Creek will provide you with a lifetime worth of adventures.  The best time to climb in the Dessert is Early spring from late April into Early June and again in the fall from late September into November.  These seasons offer the best climate for perfect camping and climbing conditons.

Plenty to do on rest days as well,  Some of the best Mountain Biking and Canyon hikes anywhere in the world.
