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.

ALL CLIMBERS AND IDENTITIES WELCOME

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

What Can I Win?!?!

16K total CASH prizes will be distributed to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place competitors in the Pro Division. 70% of prize money will go directly to the athlete, and 30% will be donated in the athlete’s name to our wonderful non-profit beneficiaries: Joshua Tree National Parks Association, Mojave Desert Land Trust and Friends Of Joshua Tree.

  • 2nd Prize (Men & Women’s) – $2,000
  • 3rd Prize (Men & Women’s) – $1,500

Rock Rumble Royale Costume Contest!!! Climbing in costume is near and dear to Joshua Tree climbing culture, and we want to keep this tradition alive. Anyone is welcome to participate. The climber awarded with Best Costume will receive $1,000.

Eligibility requirements: contestants must climb in costume during Saturday’s competition & come in full regalia to Saturday evening festivities and award ceremony.

By uniting the most influential figures in the outdoor industry—YOU—alongside industry leaders, athletes, media, land managers, and trade organizations, we will amplify our voices and echo our message across the entire industry. Together, we are not just participants; we are advocates, united in our commitment to preserve and celebrate the natural world that sustains us all. With your partnership, our aim is to utilize this event as an annual gathering of rock-climbing stakeholders that year over year will strengthen our resolve and demonstrate our commitment to protecting and preserving the very spaces and activities that define us.

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
