Does quality instruction matter to you?

Here’s why Wilderness Outings is your best choice:

• 25 years experience in outdoor skills instruction
  (The ‘Big Box’ retail store outdoor program: less than one year)

  • Joshua Tree National Park, San Jacinto Mountains (near Idyllwild),
• Commercially permitted, fully insured
• Professional staff
  • Wilderness Medicine certified
  • Professional Rock Instructor certified
  • Years of personal and instructional experience
    
• Small group sizes means better instruction
  • Maximum of 8–10 persons on most Courses and Outings
• Climbing Courses and Outings
  • Lots of climbing on REAL rock (not a gym or artificial wall)
  • Clients typically average 4–7 climbs per day on most climbing courses
• Backpacking Courses and Outings
  • Overnight (or multi-night) trips into the backcountry
    (not just one day ‘shakedown’ hikes)
• Navigation Courses
• Learn to navigate in the backcountry (not in a parking lot)
• No ‘heavy-handed’ marketing from a ‘Big Box’ retailer
  • No required in-store meetings or transport in their vehicles
    

Yes, you can find cheaper outdoor programs, but when it comes to important outdoor skills such as rock climbing, you get what you pay for. Shouldn’t this apply to your choice of guiding and instruction?
