The fee is $450 USD per person. Participants provide their own transportation to Sacramento, California airport.
Your fee includes:

Six nights and days camping at secluded Yellow Pines camp ground

Nightly campfire for storytelling, socializing, and general carousing
Partner with other participants or experienced host climbers
Last year’s meet was a rousing success. Participants enjoyed climbing everything from all day long routes to challenging short climbs. We hosted climbers of all abilities from more than eight different countries. Accounts of the day’s adventures were shared every evening over dinner, beers, and the glowing campfire.
