Sail Away
Sep 20, 2022 · Lead / Onsight. On of my favorite Joshua Tree climbs. This route can be top roped, and to belay from the top can be kind of tricky

Right On
Sep 20, 2022 · Lead / Onsight. Be prepared for a harder route than a 5.6, yet a very fun multi-pitch climb with a beautiful view of the valley. Definitely worth doing at least once. Recommend a 70m rope, 5. to 4 cams. Hooks could be handy if you wanna take a break on the slab parts of the climb. P1 - (5.6 R)The first pitch is a low angle, run-out slab, with 1x bolt and 2x gear placements. Has a flat bolted belay ledge that's very nice to belay from. P2 - (5.6)Second pitch is a fairly easy left leaning dihedral crack with 2.5+ gear placement. Has a flat bolted belay. P3 - (5.8)Third pitch is a wide chimney with a wide crack with 2.5+ gear placement. Has kind of hard to start the pitch due to a really wide chimney start. Used my back and legs with counter pressure, facing climbers left, to work my way up. Made a gear belay at the end of the chimney, on the left side of the dihedral. P4 - (5.6) Did a small down climb the P3 belay onto some rocks that were wedged into the predominant crack that runs up the dihedral. Climbed up the crack until it ends 20ft from the summit, then traversed climbers left to a split in the rock with boulders stuck in between. Made a gear belay on one of the stuck boulders. After made a small free climb up and over the wedged boulders with a 15 foot down climb on the back side to a large ledge. Rap rings are located on the left side of the small down climb. 70m rope made the rappel with a few feet of rope remaining. Walk off - Slay close to the wall as you make your way down from the rappel. The end of the walk off is right where we started so leaving your backpacks wont make you go out of the way to get them.
