Friends of Joshua Tree is holding their Climb Smart festival in Joshua Tree, December 6-8, 2024.

Similar to the AAC's Craggin Classic events, Climb Smart includes clinics, climbing with guides, 2 nights camping inside Joshua Tree National Park, workshops, vendor village, raffle prizes, and a silent auction fundraiser. In addition, there will be two catered dinners and two nights of live entertainment of some sort. The standard cost to attend is $259 per person, which I believe includes the clinics and camping. A limited number of early bird tickets are being sold for $229 and there is a no-camping option for $199 if you decide to get a hotel or vacation rental.

Description from the FOJT web site:
*Climb Smart is a 3-day event, running all day Friday through Sunday on a special weekend in the Fall each year. The event is owned and operated by the non-profit 501 c(3) Friends Of Joshua Tree, and is one of its most important events of the year.*

*Special mini-clinics run by working guides at Joshua Tree National Park offer introduction and refresher content in 2 session tracks daily, as well as managed toprope climbing for those who simply want to climb on JTree's quartz monzonite stone. Each evening a catered dinner is provided and entertainment, inspiration and education are delivered in multimedia format. We always have great brand sponsors (Black Diamond, Fixe/Roca, Petzl, Scarpa, Nomad Ventures, Patagonia, REI and others) and local and regional retailers as well as giveaways and drawings. The attendee of Climb Smart will leave more experienced, better networked, psyched for climbing and likely with some swag items too.*

*One of the unique offerings at Climb Smart is working with professional climbing guides in mini-clinic format, facilitating interaction with different organizational staff and styles. In the end, all of the guide organizations invited to participate in Climb Smart are top shelf, longstanding professional outfits permitted by the Park and have strong reputations in the climbing community.*
