Adventure Tips
Bring Your Own Climbing Shoes
Magnum Expeditions supplies technical gear, but climbers must bring their own rock climbing shoes for the best experience.
Hydrate Generously
Carry at least one liter of water per person—dry desert air and physical exertion require steady hydration.
Dress for Sun Protection
Lightweight, breathable clothing and a hat will protect you from strong southwestern sun during climbs and approaches.
Expect Short But Intense Climbs
The climbs are generally single-pitch routes lasting a few minutes each; be ready for bursts of focused effort.
