If you can climb a ladder, you’re good to go! This rock climbing and yoga retreat in Bishop is open to all levels. Being in good shape is always a plus but far from necessary—you just have to be able to do 20 squats and 1 pull up as well as to hike 2 miles over varied terrain carrying a 15 lb backpack.
