Description

Mammoth Lakes Basin (2740m) is every rock climber’s dream. With literally hundreds of single pitch routes to suit every level from beginner to advanced, this climbing venue located on the backside of Mammoth Mountain is hard to beat. 

Horseshoe Slabs, Sunshine Wall, Wavy Gravy Wall, North Face, East Face and Dike Wall are just a few of the vertical walls waiting to be scaled within this one-of-a-kind outdoor playground, which is also a popular hiking and camping destination during the summer months.

With its many climbing routes, the Mammoth Lakes Basin is suitable for rock climbers of all levels. Traditional, sport and top rope options are all available. An ideal spot to spend the day climbing solo or in the company of family and friends.

Plus, the adventure doesn’t have to end when you put away your climbing gear at the end of the day. Laid-back Mammoth, CA is full of friendly restaurants and breweries waiting to welcome wary climbers after a long day out on the mountain. Kick back and enjoy a meal and drinks as the sun goes down over this mountain town. 

Be sure to visit Black Doubt Brewing, our favorite local watering hole, before you leave town.

Want to experience the climber’s life in Mammoth? We’ll be waiting for you here in the Mammoth Lakes Basin. Request to book and join us on the mountain.

I also lead day trips to nearby Clark Canyon, a fun, off the beaten path volcanic rock climbing venue.

Single Pitch Instructor

I am the founder of Golden State Guiding and an AMGA Single Pitch Instructor.

I have been climbing all over California for over 10 years from Joshua Tree and the High Sierra and from Yosemite to Owen's River Gorge. I enjoy climbing in all its forms but alpine starts, long approaches and high elevation gains are my favorite. The grueling days and long routes of the Sierras are where my heart lies.

At Golden State Guiding, we hold a valid permit to guide you legally in California´s Sierras. Golden State Guiding has only professional Guides trained by the AMGA who know all the ins and outs in these mountains and we´ll take you to all the best spots!

These are some of the spots where we can take you:
- Joshua Tree
- San Diego (Mission Gorge, Mount Woodson)
- Eastern Sierra (Lone Pine Peak, Mt Humphrey’s, Mt Emerson, Mount Sill, Bear Creek Spire, Laurel Mountain, Temple Crag, Crystal Crag, Cardinal Pinnacle, Iris Slab, Mammoth Lakes Basin, Clark Canyon)
- Red Rock

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
