Sail Away
Real Hidden Valley
 Sat, Dec 9
2006		 5.8- **** 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.
Wild Wind
Real Hidden Valley
 Sat, Dec 9
2006		 5.9 ** We just barely got up this one before dark. John made it up with basically no real difficulty, which was good.
Stichter Quits
Echo Rock
 Sun, Dec 10
2006		 5.7 *** Brian led this one. Easy and fun.
Double Dip
Echo Rock
 Sun, Dec 10
2006		 5.6 ** Fun, and about as easy as a Joshua Tree slab gets (i.e. still not trivial).
Heart and Sole
Echo Rock
 Sun, Dec 10
2006		 5.10a **** 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
 Sun, Dec 10
2006		 5.9 *** Brian led this. Quite a nice crack.
Unnamed 5.9
Supercrack Buttress
 Thu, Mar 29
2007		 5.9 ** 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
 Thu, Mar 29
2007		 5.9 *** 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
 Fri, Mar 30
2007		 5.10 ***** 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
 Fri, Mar 30
2007		 5.10 *** 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
 Sat, Mar 31
2007		 5.9+ **** 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
 Sat, Mar 31
2007		 5.8 **** 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
 Sun, Nov 11
2007		 5.10b ** 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
 Sun, Nov 11
2007		 5.10c/d *** 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
 Mon, Nov 12
2007		 5.10d ** 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
 Mon, Nov 12
2007		 5.11a/b **** 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
 Mon, Nov 12
2007		 5.11c *** 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
