What we do

Soul and Summit is a climbing expedition and instruction company based in Southern California. We're a family-and-friends team — climbers, photographers, a yoga instructor, and an 8-year-old who proves every day that climbing is for everyone. We guide, teach, and document, all built on the belief that you shouldn't have to be elite to get on great rock.

Guided climbing expeditions — Tahquitz, Joshua Tree, Mission Gorge, and beyond
Climbing instruction from beginner to advanced, grounded in 30+ years on rock
Adventure photography — people and intimate moments plus wide landscape documentation
European expeditions in development — Ireland, Scotland, France, the Alps, and more
Yoga and mobility on multi-day trips via a Yoga Alliance certified instructor

How it works

We scout every destination ourselves before we ever bring a client. Route knowledge, conditions, logistics, and local beta — all firsthand. That means your expedition is built on real experience, not guidebook summaries.

Instruction
Skills-based climbing education — from your first belay to building anchors and reading routes.
Photography
Top rope solo photography and videography capturing your climb from the wall itself.
