Post Retreat Resources!

There was a great question about what resources we like for learning climbing anchors, systems, and safety tips. Here are a few we thought of:

AMGA book - Rock Climbing: The AMGA Single Pitch Manual (Gaby, Blake, and Remy have also all taken the AMGA SPI course, which is popular among new guides and budding alpine climbers alike)
Alpine Saavy - Website & Instagram by John Godino
Climbing Festivals - There are lots of festivals with clinics! The AAC's Craggin' Classic Series is a good starting point.
Gym Classes - Check what courses are offered at your local gym
Friends! Seriously though, there's no substitute for a good, experienced mentor who can "show you the ropes."

Stay Connected!

We created a WhatsApp group for folks attending the April 2025 retreat. Feel free to ask questions, coordinate ride-sharing, or send travel updates to this group.

Exploring St. George

If you're climbing nearby before or after the retreat, we suggest you check out the local crags around St. George!

The area is home every kind of climbing from sandstone at Chuckwalla Wall to the steep limestone climbs of the Utah Hills like Woodbury Road and the VRG. Just west you’ll find epic bouldering at Moe’s Valley. For multi-pitch adventures you explore Snow Canyon State Park or Zion nearby. Of course you can always stop into Crawdad Canyon early and get the lay of the land.

Camping: If you’re in the St. George area there is BLM just outside of town and improved camping at Snow Canyon State Park.
