This rock climbing course offers you the chance to explore the climbing routes in Southern Yosemite or Eastern Sierra Nevada, both famous for their cliffs and beautiful view. You guide will take you slightly off the paths trodden by so many other tourists, giving you a closer experience of the nature in the area. Over the course of the weekend, you will get plenty of opportunity to test your force against that of the mountain, obviously assisted by the experienced climbing guides. They will suit the routes to your level – whether you need beginner’s training or want to give more challenging multi-pitch techniques a go.
Day 1: Meet at the base camp between 4 and 6pm, where dinner will be served at 6pm. In the evening, your guide will ask you about your experience, skills, and goals for the trip and choose routes most appropriate for your interests and ability.
Day 2: Early breakfast is followed by travelling to the rock, where you will spend a full day climbing. The day starts with an introduction to basic techniques, etiquette and procedures - what follows depends on your skills and interests. Return to the camp is around 5pm, where dinner will be made before a restful night.
Day 3: After breakfast, you head back to the rock, where you spend the day climbing. There are plenty of routes for all levels, and the guides are happy to teach you new techniques, skills, or anything else that your heart may desire. The programme will end around 3pm, when you will make you way back to the camp.
Fly to San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles or Fresno International Airport. Hire a car and drive from there.
Price is per person and includes climbing guide, gear (if needed), tents, breakfast and dinner.
If you enjoy climbing, this is definitely the trip for you. Although years of experience is not needed, it is not a climbing introduction for complete beginners, and a basic course or some level of confidence in the gym or outdoors will enhance yours and others’ safety, enjoyment and learning experience. You need to be fit enough to climb, prepared to camp outdoors, and ready for all weather conditions in the mountains. Tents means little privacy, but a closeness to nature that cannot be substituted for anything. Couples, friends, families with older children and single travellers will all have a good time.

I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.
Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.
El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.
Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.
So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
