Summer Climbing Trips

The Fins

Come test your sport climbing skills at the best limestone venue in the PNW. Bend Endurance Academy will spend 6 days pulling down on pockets and camping atop a beautiful limestone covered valley.

• Requirements: Age 14 and up and must climb 5.11+ outdoors
• Max Participants: 8

Tahoe

We will be camping near Truckee which sits at a higher elevation and is in closer proximity to cool summer climbing zones. Book your trip with us and have the climbing vacation you won’t forget.

In addition to the perfect backdrop and jaw dropping sunsets we’ll also make time to check out some of the best Redwood groves, surf sessions on the beach, and oceanside sport climbs!
