Private Rock Climbing Guides and Instruction, Year Round

Make every weekend count on the rock!

If you can’t wait for the next rock climbing trip, you are looking for some one-on-one instruction, or want to arrange a day on the rock for your group, you can hire an Outdoor Adventure Club rock climbing guide!

Whether you have never climbed before, or are looking for some specialized skills, we can put a program together just for you or your group. Never climbed before? Want your own Gear & Anchor class? You and your climbing partner want a personalized self rescue course? Want to practice leading but don't know where to go? The OAC guides can make it happen for you.

There are many benefits of hiring a private guide. You get a program tailored to your experience and skill level, you get very personal attention, and you get more climbing in than you would with a group.

Your Outdoor Adventure Club guide will provide all the necessary equipment for the day; you just need to bring your lunch and water.

Climbing trips are routinely led in Castle Rock State Park, near San Jose, Pinnacles National Monument, near Hollister, Mt. Diablo, and Cragmont, in Berkeley. We can even introduce you to granite crack climbing at Consumnes, near Placerville. Give us a call to see about other areas.

Private lessons are available mid-week or on weekends, based on guide availability. It is highly recommended that you make reservations at least one week in advance, farther is encouraged. A typical guided climbing day lasts from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM.

Includes:

• A full day with one of the professional guides of the OAC- certified as Wilderness First Responders and trained by the American Mountain Guides Association
• All the necessary climbing gear
• A customized course, tailored to your experience and goals
