Cliffhanger Guides Presents:
December 13th & 14th 2024
Welcome to the 1st Annual 29 Palms Rock Rumble Royale, a bouldering COMP and Conservation Event. This event is a first of it’s kind, mixing climbing ethics and ethos, with what really matters, the planet and environment that sustains us all.
Your presence represents a powerful VOTE to champion and illuminate the most invaluable asset we possess: our outdoor spaces. Yes, there will be climbing and some serious throwing down with multiple A-listers in attendance, both new skool and old school, however, the true essence and driving force of this event is far greater than any single individual.

Beginners VB-V2
Intermediate V3-V5
Advanced V6-V10
Pro V8-V13
Youth VB-V5 (11-15)
Masters (50+) VB-V5

Together, we are not just participants; we are advocates, united in our commitment to preserve and celebrate the natural world that sustains us all.

All climbing will be inside Joshua Tree National Park, the event hub will be at Freedom Plaza in the heart of 29 Palms, and the guest speaker list is off the charts! Come play with us, pull down, and make the world a better place!
Cheers,
Seth, Sabra, & the Cliffhanger Gang
