If you can climb a ladder, you’re good to go! This rock climbing and yoga retreat in Bishop is open to all levels.

If you’d like to take a one to four-day climbing course in California, check out these rock climbing courses in Owens River Gorge. Interested in just a day out on the crag? This 1-day rock climbing tour in Point Dume, Malibu is even better than it sounds—you’ll be surrounded by the wild ocean and rolling hills while scaling up those movie-featured rocks.
I’ve gotten outside with Erik on two occasions. Both adventures were a complete blast and I learned a ton. Erik is safe, professional, and a damn good climber. If you’re in the Sacramento area and are looking to take your outdoor climbing to the next level, Vertical Pursuits is the way to go.
