Murphy was an excellent guide. Knowledgeable and competent, and made sure we were comfortable and had fun. He shared tips and advice for us to use that day and on future trips to whatever crag we may find ourselves at. He was friendly and humorous, skilled and encouraging. And he was generous with his time. We had a great day!

Murphy was a fantastic guide. He made all of us (including our two young boys) feel comfortable finding our edge and having fun along the way. Thank you, Murphy!!!

We came to Joshua Tree for a quick trip on the way to Palm Springs and wanted to make sure we got some climbing in! Murphy showed us some of the most classic moderate routes and was just so excited and enthusiastic and made our time so memorable!

Murph is THE BEST! Tremendous park knowledge, climbing expertise, and just a heck of a guy to spend a half day with. Highly recommend this incredible experience.

We had an amazing time with Murphy! He was a great guide and teacher, did a wonderful job explaining everything to our kids, and was super enjoyable to hang out with! We hope to climb with him again some time!

This is an incredible experience for the whole family. Murphy was so knowledgeable, explaining stories and information about plants, animals, and made everyone feel safe. He was great with the kids. Managed their competitiveness and empowered them to work through their fears and go at their own pace. Thank you so much!!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better day with our guide, James. As soon as we met him, his enthusiasm immediately loosened up our kids and they were eager to get going. James took us into the park and set us up on a rock wall that was equally challenging for the parents and the kids. As we climbed high into the sky, we felt safe under James’ direction and we each made it to the top of the wall. He was patient and helpful every step of the wall. After rock climbing, our kids wanted to move on to a scramble hike. James new of the perfect spot which we would have never found on our own. We climbed through tight holes and walked through tunnels which made for a memorable experience and great photos so we never forget. We had our own personal guide and we wouldn’t have experienced Joshua Tree any other way. We would highly recommend James to any family looking to have an amazing day without the stress of bringing all the climbing equipment and planning the routes. Thank you Mojave Guides!!
