Come ROCK CLIMB at Pinnacles National Monument, only 90 minutes south of San Jose near Hollister. Come out for 2 days of climbing and great camping on Friday and Saturday night (1 day options are also available).

Beginner and Beyond Beginners are welcome. There will be two levels of climbing available.

BEGINNERS: First timers and beginner climbers will be introduced to rock climbing in this great outdoor environment. This OAC activity is designed to introduce beginner climbers to the exciting sport of outdoor rock climbing — an adventure that delivers great fun, beautiful scenery, and real physical and mental stimulation. There’s nothing like the exhilaration of clinging to a rock face, 75 feet off the ground, testing your balance and your confidence as you step up to make the next move. After you make it, you get to lower down like you’re dancing on the walls. You feel like Spiderman!

Indoor climbers, you'll enjoy getting out of the gym and on to real rock! Pinnacles offers remote and incredibly beautiful climbing in the 5.5-5.12+ level.

This is a "Learn As You Play" adventure for beginners and beyond beginners. The beginner class teaches you everything you need to know for when you get that urge to go climb a wall! The class is designed as a basic introduction to rock climbing. Our guides will cover equipment, terminology, safety, basic anchoring and footwork. Then, everyone gets on the walls and climbs, climbs, climbs!

BEYOND BEGINNERS: What is "Beyond Beginners"? Beyond Beginners is for any climber who has been out at least once recently, and is familiar with the basic skills of belaying. We will review belay skills so we are assured you are competant, but try not to spend the time teaching the basics so you can come out and get right on the walls! Your climbing ability can range anywhere from 5.6 to 5.11. We will set up climbs to keep all levels adequately challenged. This class is designed to get you outside and climbing MORE so you can keep develping your skills. We realize when you are starting out it's hard to find people to climb with outside who know where to go and who can safely set up the ropes. OAC takes care of that, plus we have all the gear so you don't have to worry about the details of your climbing day! Our guides will determine where you climb based on the experience level of both individual climbers and the beyond beginner group in general.

We will continue to set up and change top ropes for everyone so the climbs are as easy or difficult as you'd like!

This day is designed for those who already know the basics of rock climbing, who are competant with their belay technique, and want to get right on the wall. Climb on! Interested students can also observe the processes involved in setting up top ropes and building anchors.

OAC climbing guides do more than just set top ropes. They coach you, encourage you when you need it, encourage you more when you want it, and help you develop better climbing technique.

After climbing, OAC has reserved camping so you can relax after your climbs. This is always a welcome way to finsih your climbing day! OAC staff will fill you with scrumptious meals and keep you entertained. It's during the camping when friendships form, and club members really get to know each other.
