"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Great RouteI think this was the first route I ever did in Joshua Tree. It was a memorable one.

heady soloAfter failing on Bearded Cabbage, I soloed this route just before sunset to redeem some ego. Down climbed the Right Ski track.

ClassicGrueling approach. Too slaby. The scenery could benefit from a Walmart or two.

ClassicHad always missed doing this on prior trips to JTree. Fine climb. 2nd pitch is PG.

Interesting routeClimbed this route many times. The traverse is a little intimidating and creates a lot of rope drag if climbing the whole route in one pitch.

Hung on gearI climbed this in 2002 or 2003 and had to hang on a cam at the crux. Oh well.

Fun OverhandIt was fun watching all the slab climbers struggle with the overhang. This a really fun route and you can't be the approach from the campground.

Led 1st pitchClimbed with Torger Johnson. First pitch was a lot of fun. Second pitch was mostly an upper body workout, but with a tricky exit move and then a last bit of friction climbing.

My Largest Overhang YetReally fun climb. Thanks for the great lead, Vlad!
