| Sail Away Real Hidden Valley (Hidden Tower) Joshua Tree |
Sat, Dec 9 2006 |
5.8- **** | Trad | 1 pitch I followed. |
John Leo Brian Schuster |
I hadn't done these since my first trip to Joshua Tree over three years ago, so I decided they would be a fun way to end the day. Brian led this one. |

5.9 ** | Trad | 1 pitch I led. |
John Leo Brian Schuster |
We just barely got up this one before dark. John made it up with basically no real difficulty, which was good. |

Brian led this one. Easy and fun. |
| Double Dip Echo Rock (West Face) Joshua Tree |
Sun, Dec 10 2006 |
5.6 ** | Trad | 1 pitch I led. |
John Leo Brian Schuster |
Fun, and about as easy as a Joshua Tree slab gets (i.e. still not trivial). |
| Heart and Sole Echo Rock (West Face) Joshua Tree |
Sun, Dec 10 2006 |
5.10a **** | Trad | 1 pitch I led. |
John Leo Brian Schuster |
I really wanted to lead this, as I remember how heady it was when Aaron led it. This really is an awesome route, both as a slab and as a crack. |
| Pope's Crack Echo Rock (South End) Joshua Tree |
Sun, Dec 10 2006 |
5.9 *** | Trad | 1 pitch I followed. |
John Leo Brian Schuster |
Brian led this. Quite a nice crack. |
| Unnamed 5.9 Supercrack Buttress Indian Creek |
Thu, Mar 29 2007 |
5.9 ** | Trad | 1 pitch I led. |
Brian Schuster Nathaniel Ross |
It snowed most of the night and well into the morning. This really sucked, considering how far we had come to climb the splitter cracks of Indian Creek. Though I was somewhat… more |
| Amaretto Corner Supercrack Buttress Indian Creek |
Thu, Mar 29 2007 |
5.9 *** | Trad | 1 pitch I led. |
Brian Schuster Nathaniel Ross |
This was an excellent climb. It started out hands, but gradually got wider and wider. I walked a single #4 Camalot up about twenty feet as I went. At the top, I pulled a quick and… more |
| Generic Crack Donnelly Canyon Indian Creek |
Fri, Mar 30 2007 |
5.10 ***** | Trad | 1 pitch I led. |
Brian Schuster Nathaniel Ross |
Freaking spectacular. Oh my God. So sweet. So good. I led first, and Nathaniel followed, then I stayed at the top and took pictures as Brian led. |
| 3AM Crack Supercrack Buttress Indian Creek |
Fri, Mar 30 2007 |
5.10 *** | Trad | 1 pitch I led. |
Brian Schuster Nathaniel Ross |
This was pretty sweet, but pumpy as hell, and got just a little wide in several spots. Brian led first, then Nathaniel followed, then Brian took pictures from the top as I led. As… more |
| Kor-Ingalls Route Castleton Tower Castle Valley |
Sat, Mar 31 2007 |
5.9+ **** | Trad | 4 pitches I led 0. |
Brian Schuster Nathaniel Ross |
Amazingly, despite my sprained knee from the day before, I was able to do the approach to this climb, then follow the whole route, with no issues. Apparently the sprain was pretty… more |
| North Chimney Castleton Tower Castle Valley |
Sat, Mar 31 2007 |
5.8 **** | Trad | 4 pitches We did it in 2. I led 0. |
Brian Schuster Nathaniel Ross |
This was also an excellent route, but did require a little more use of my bad knee than the previous climb. Since we were short on time (Nathaniel was insistent that we get back to… more |
| Tinker Toys Lost Horse (Tiny Tots Rock) Joshua Tree |
Sun, Nov 11 2007 |
5.10b ** | Trad | 1 pitch I led. |
Brian Schuster | Jackie didn't think she was up to doing this one, so she followed Darrin up Cake Walk while Brian followed me up this, even though he had just led it. |
| The Talking Fish Lost Horse (Freeway Wall) Joshua Tree |
Sun, Nov 11 2007 |
5.10c/d *** | Trad | 1 pitch I led. |
Brian Schuster | Incredible route. The first half is sustained, sport-like slab-ish climbing on edges protected by bolts that follow a seam, though you rarely actually use the seam. There's one… more |
| Hobbit Roof Hidden Valley Campground (The Blob) Joshua Tree |
Mon, Nov 12 2007 |
5.10d ** | Trad | 1 pitch I led. |
Brian Schuster Jackie Mandy |
I wish I had tried this one earlier this year when Aaron and Nathaniel and I were considering doing it... it would have been a great confidence boost! This route is SOOO not .10d!… more |
| Coarse and Buggy Roadside Rocks (Dihedral Rock) Joshua Tree |
Mon, Nov 12 2007 |
5.11a/b **** | Trad | 1 pitch I led. |
Brian Schuster | FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! One of my goals for the weekend was to finally get on this route, and I'm really glad now that I did. This route is absolutely beautiful! Unfortunately I… more |
| Butterfly Crack Quail Springs (Trashcan Rock) Joshua Tree |
Mon, Nov 12 2007 |
5.11c *** | Trad | 1 pitch I followed. |
Brian Schuster | Brian wanted to look at this and boulder the start, and maybe actually climb it. I convinced him to rope up and climb the whole thing, and then followed him up it. It felt so much… more |
