Got to the overhang the first time and there was a huge blood spot where a guy hae split his melon the day before. Got freaked out and back down. Climbed it a month later when head was right again.

overhang bypass
Well I hung on the 2nd pitch. Hopefully next time I'll lead it clean.

Led 1st pitch
Climbed 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.

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.
