Use this detail page to confirm that the stop is worth it, then carry that decision into a trip draft while the park context is still fresh.
Rock Climbing Details
Rock climbers rejoice at the accessible and unparalleled climbing in Yosemite National Park. Yosemite's walls and cracks, primarily glacial polished rock, require climbers to gently balance on the walls, as there are few hand or feet holds as you make you way up the rocks. Most climbs require you to bring and place your own gear, so if you are new to climbing, Yosemite may not be the place to first go-it-alone. However, [Yosemite Mountaineering School](http://www.travelyosemite.com/things-to-do/yosemite-mountaineering-school-guide-service/) and Guide Service offers classes and guided climbs to help you boost your comfort level and familiarize yourself with the park and its rocks.
