It was still freezing here, even though this faced what little sun was in the
sky. I wanted to do this excellent route to give Jackie and the rest of the
gang a taste of ALL that Joshua Tree had to offer (since this route has a
little of ALL of it). But Jackie was just too cold to climb. I think she tried
the first few feet, but gave up when her hands were just numb. Asuka came up on
a second rope about thirty feet behind Will. I lowered her down, and Will and I
rapped off. While Will and I were at the top, and as we rappelled, we saw a few
snowflakes in the air.
