West Face Overhang

5.7 ** It's funny the kind of attention you get if you take a beautiful, voluptuous blonde to Joshua Tree for some climbing. I unfortunately attracted a little attention myself while… more
The Flue

5.8 *** This was an outstanding climb: a fun juggy start, followed by a long right-slanting crack that afforded excellent jams most of the way. I can hardly believe I've climbed so many… more
Howard's Horror (direct start)

5.10b * I had a little trouble figuring out the start of this route at first, but once I got the idea, it was mostly a one-move wonder. With the regular start, the route is only 5.7. I was… more

Lost Horse
Sat, Jan 16

5.9 * This one deserves at least two stars in my opinion. Just as I had remembered, it had a couple of tricky moves at the beginning, but the rest was much easier. Amanda struggled with… more

5.9 This one also deserves at least two stars, in my opinion. I think it's not as sustained as For Whom the Poodle Tolls right next to it, but the quality of the climbing on it is… more

5.7+ **** This was a truly sublime way to finish the day, although getting down turned out to be a mini-epic. I really should try to start being more attuned to the, shall we say,… more
