"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."

Surprisingly diverse parkRegular hiking, cross-country walking, and bouldering. I despair at the recent crowds that have turned it into Disneyland.

CRHTingBackpacked the CRHT from Upper Covington Flats to Twin Tanks, with a detour to Hall of Horrors. Some nice off-trail camps to be found and warm enough to skip the tent. Plenty of coyotes around to keep things amusing.

Climb climb climbLots of climbing throughout the years, but NOT my favorite place, too crowded and noisy.

Desert wonderlandHere in the off-season, I guess; there were few people around climbers or otherwise. Scrambled and friction climbed up several nice rocks. The texture is really amazing, one can make it up pretty amazing formations. Also a nice quiet place to camp, at least in October.

Should Season ParadiseAugust 2005 was my first trip. Moved to SoCal in 2010 and make several trips a year. I'm a big fan of remote climbs off the beaten path. Who needs an audience?

great rockThis was my 2nd visit to j-tree, first time when my son was 2 was just a quick visit and a few short hikes. 2nd time (18 years later) spent 5 days climbing different routes, more remote routes, lots of 5.9s and 5.10s - Dow would not let me be a slacker :). Took 970 photos on this trip!!! and did a few hikes as well.

Quick TripJust a quick road trip though the area to see what the park is like. Rock climbing is not really an interest of mine, so I doubt we will be back often, though it is certainly a very interesting area ecologically. It's always surreal to see snow and Joshua Trees together.

Climb Fest!Attended a four day climb-fest with Sierra Mountaineering Club. Members from both NorCal and SoCal met here and we had a great time camping and climbing.

Great RockTook a bit to get used to the rough nature of the rock. But is one of my favorite climbing areas in CA.
