The Southern California Mountaineers Association (SCMA) is proud to support Friends of Joshua Tree (FOJT) and Climb Smart again this year by serving up breakfast for the masses of attendees and volunteers on Saturday and Sunday morning. Come by to have some breakfast with us and ask about joining the SCMA.

Now in its 16th year, the Climb Smart Festival (October 17-19, 2014) includes: climbing clinics for climbers of all levels instructed by Certified PCGI and AMGA guides, camping, multimedia and athlete presentations, park projects, a vendor fair, the always popular raffle and auction, gourmet dinners Friday and Saturday, and the Real Rock Film Festival’s presentation of “Valley Uprising” on Friday night.  Don’t miss this opportunity to have a great time, improve your skills, and win some raffle prizes.  Registration for attendees is now open at http://fojtcs14.eventbrite.com.
