Trip: Joshua Tree Rock Climbing - Half Day (PM)
Guide: James M.
We were guided by Murph, who was probably the most positive and fun human being that we ever encountered. Murph took our climbing instructions and prior experience into account, and selected a climb we would enjoy the most. He was encouraging throughout the climb and made sure we had an excellent climb in a safe and controlled environment. Throughout the climb, we had a great time and made some really lasting memories. If you’re at all interested in climbing in Joshua Tree and wondering who to go with, go with Mojave Guides- they come highly recommended!

We had a blast on our first rock climbing experience! Our guide took us into the park for some epic climbing routes and showed us everything we needed to know. He was very patient with us and he kept us motivated and entertained the whole time! Oh and he also took us to the Chasm of Doom for some fun rock scrambling afterwords. Highly recommend booking this company for your next rock climbing adventure in Joshua Tree!!

Murphy was awesome! He was such a professional but totally laid back and helpful every step of the way. Rock climbing has been a bucket list item for me and I can’t wait to do more. We even got to visit the Chasm of Doom. Such a cool experience that I highly recommend to everyone!!

My climbing partner and I booked 1 1/2 days with Mojave guides given our time constraints. It worked out perfectly and we had a fantastic experience with James “Murf” as our guide. He chose the perfect climbs for us and we really loved learning more about gear placement and anchor building (on the ground) as this was something we wanted to practice. Loved the combo of adventure and education. Highly recommend Mojave Guides and James as they are super accommodating and best of all fun! We’ll be back!

Trip: Joshua Tree Rock Climbing - Full Day
Guide: James M.
I highly recommend Mojave Guides and James “Murf”. My climbing partner and I had an absolutely stellar experience with him as our guide for one and a half days. We both have some experience but we’re relatively new to JTree. Murf chose the perfect climbs for our skill levels and interests. We were challenged but not overwhelmed. Best of all we had a blast and always felt perfectly safe! Thank you for a super fun adventure! We’ll be back!

Trip: Joshua Tree Hiking - Half Day (AM)
Guide: James M.
Murphy was a great guide starting by asking me what I was expecting on the hike. I wanted to go to a less traveled hike with a great view. He definitely showed me that.
