Yosemite:
Granite Rock Climbing & Waterfalls
May 29 – June 1, 2026
Our Take
Yosemite is a sanctuary of vertical granite and falling water. It is also crowded, loud, and occasionally chaotic. We aren't going there to be tourists.
In late May, the waterfalls are at full volume. We'll spend these days on the Mist Trail, on granite faces, and on summits that make sense of why people leave their screens for the mountains.

The Plan
Day 1 (Friday) – May 29 · Arrival and Unwinding
Late arrival to the hotel, dinner, sleep.
Day 01 (Saturday) — May 30 · The Waterfall Giants
We start with the Mist Trail.
Seven miles of steep granite stairs and enough spray to feel like a rainstorm. We'll push through to Nevada Fall, regroup, and end the day at Glacier Point for sunset.
→ Objective: move until the legs feel it.
Day 02 (Sunday) — May 31 · Granite Climbing
Morning belongs to the rock. We've secured AMGA-certified guides for top-rope sessions on Yosemite granite — technical, tactile, and genuinely accessible to anyone willing to try.
Free afternoon: several adventure options
→ Evening: The Farewell Feast. Good food. Better conversation.

Breakfast. No agenda. Head home or stay in the valley. Your choice.

If you can climb a few flights of stairs without questioning your life choices, you're fine.
Gear
We handle the climbing hardware. Bring boots and a waterproof shell. More details will be shared
Philosophy
We choose challenge over comfort. Occasionally on purpose :)
We want to remind ourselves by these 3 days in Yosemite why the screens can wait.
