Welcome to the 2nd Annual 29 Palms Rock Rumble Royale!

More than just a climbing competition, the Rock Rumble Royale is a 2 day festival that fuses the spirit of climbing with the ethics, ethos, and environmental stewardship that define our community. Your presence is more than participation — it’s a vote for the planet and a stand for the wild places that sustain us all.

Yes, there will be plenty of pulling down — with competition divisions ranging from Youth to Pro, 10K in prize money, legendary old-school crushers, and the next generation of A-list climbers. But the true heart of this event reaches far beyond the crash pads. It’s about uniting the most passionate voices in the outdoor world — climbers, athletes, industry leaders, land managers, media, and YOU — to amplify a shared message: that protecting our outdoor spaces is more important than ever before.

The festival HUB will be open on January 9th and 10th, located at Freedom Plaza in the heart of 29 Palms. Expect an incredible lineup of guest speakers over the weekend, including Katy Lamb, Ethan Pringle, and Alex Johnson. The hub will showcase vendors from across the climbing and conservation world, providing opportunities to learn about and connect with outdoor initiatives to preserve our public lands. The climbing competition will take place inside Joshua Tree National Park on January 10th from 8am-3:30pm.

Together, we’re not just competitors; we’re advocates, stewards, and storytellers for the landscapes that shape who we are. With your partnership, this annual gathering will continue to grow into a cornerstone event for the climbing community — come play with us, pull down, and make the world a better place!
