Climbing Location:
Moab and Indian Creek are the epicenter of crack climbing in the U.S. Over the course of the clinic, we’ll climb at a variety of world-class crags in the area. Expect to jam fingers, hands, fists, and more into perfect sandstone splitters, all while camping together each evening and climbing as a group each day.

No. If you climb in the gym or outside on bolts, you’ll fit right in.
To get the most from Off-Width Crack Camp, we recommend that you climb confidently on 5.9 or harder routes
Nope! We provide all the group gear. Bring your personal climbing kit, and we’ll cover cams and ropes.
We keep the ratio small (4 climbers per guide) and groups of 12 so you get tons of personal attention.
Most climbers camp in Indian Creek at a group site we have picked out. Bring your own camping setup, or stay in nearby Monticello/Moab if you prefer.
Crack climbing is a workout, and Off-Width Crack Camp will leave you spent but exhilarated. Expect full days on the rock, with instruction tailored to your ability level.
Fall and spring are prime seasons in Indian Creek. If needed, we’ll adjust venues and schedules to keep you climbing.
