Less talking about the send. More learning how we get there.🙌

Kyra Condie and Genevieve Walker brought the STOKE to Joe’s Valley Fest!🤩 From dialing in your footwork to taking gym strength to real rock, these clinics were packed with beta worth taking home and skills worth putting to the test.

👉New tricks. Different perspectives. A few more tools for the next time you’re staring down a problem thinking, “HOW the heck do I climb that?!”

Huge thanks to Kyra and Genevieve for sharing the psych with the Joe’s Valley crew!!🔥

CLINIC HIGHLIGHT⚒️
A little western craftsmanship in the heart of Joe’s Valley!
This clinic SELLS OUT every year, and it’s easy to see why!

Jon and Cindy Judd of San Rafael Works started their journey in 1981 when Jon made Cindy a saddle of her own. What began out of necessity grew into a family business rooted in western tradition and exceptional craftsmanship.🐎

From custom saddles and leatherwork to handcrafted sterling silver jewelry, they’ve spent decades perfecting their craft right here in Emery County.

Every year they welcomed climbers into their studio to make their own copper jewelry, learn from local artisans, and take home something made by hand.🙌

Climbing clinics are happening today!🤘 Come learn how to move more efficiently, dial in your footwork and technique, and tackle slabs, slopers, and mantles with confidence. You’ll also pick up projecting tactics to help you find beta, manage your energy and skin, and make those send attempts count.🙌

WET ROCK UPDATE | 10/1

On Monday, Joe’s Valley saw heavy rain and flash flood conditions! It’s been over 48 hours, but the rock and surrounding soil are still holding moisture.👈

❌Please do NOT climb today. Give the rock the full day today to dry!!

☀️We’ve got full sun today, which should help conditions improve significantly! New Joe’s is looking optimistic for tomorrow, but we’ll keep you updated. Please check the soil near the boulders and look for signs of moisture on the rock before climbing tomorrow.

‼️We’re also pivoting on our night bouldering event tonight. We are extending our Hometown Hangout until 10pm, with extra games, music, dancing and line dancing! Thanks for helping us protect Joe’s Valley!
