Explore Custom Trip Options
Meet your guide in Oakhurst, CA at the designated meeting location. You’ll follow your guide in your vehicle to the climbing sites (all roads are accessible with a two-wheel drive vehicle, though an SUV style vehicle may be more comfortable on the dirt roads). All climbs are catered to your own abilities and interests. Tell your guide your goals and they will cater the day best achieve these! Some possible options are:
Spend a day pushing your limits on the granite ridges of the Willow Creek Walls. Whether you’re here for a fun morning or a full day, the Willow Creek area offers fun and challenging climbing for the entire spectrum of climbers.
For the more experienced climber, spend a full day cragging steeper walls at Hawk Dome or climb above the trees on one of Fresno Dome’s numerous multi-pitch routes. These climbs range from 200 to 600 feet and provide a challenge for any level of climber.
