The Stichter Quits/Black Tide Dike is highlited in early morning Sun.

Climber from San Francisco near the top

Taking on slab with stoke. Kelsey is stepping out above the 1st bolt and on her way to the 2nd bolt.

We counted four bolts unless we are off route here.

Kelsey Kaszas on her first lead climb in Joshua Tree, taking on the crux of the climb with confidence.

A view of the entire route. Jay being lowered about midway between the final runout of the last bolt to the anchor

Shiloh on Black Tide

The super inviting dyke in the morning light.

George leading Stichter Quits (AKA Black Tide): "Hey, where the hell do I go from here?"

above the crux...<br>
I was a little bummed that the last bolt was so far left of that horn in the photo. You can clip that last bolt with a long sling, and step back down and traverse over to it. That way you won't miss out on the coolest hold on the route...

Charlie Hoffman on the lower section. This was a great climb.

Christa Cline at the crux by the first bolt.

Climbers wife being lowered off with a 70m. A 70m comes within a few feet of the ground apparently

This is the rappel station for "Stichter Quits". We wanted to get of that rock ASAP as the heat was getting unbearable... Let's find some shade!!!

Chris starts out on the slabby runout finish to Stitcher Quits, 5.7

Polished as glass, the crux is.

joshua trees!

One his way to 2nd bolt.

Standing on the black tide patina

Moving past the crux

Slowly but surely making my way up Stichter Quits.

Lori shows off her hands free rappel (back up prussik) after climbing "Stichter Quits".

Rappel with 70M rope doesn't reach ground, but very easy to downclimb last few ft.

Moving up to the second bolt, beautiful winter day at JTree.

Elaine still has a ways to go to the second bolt.

Anna wanted to free solo the route but i finally convinced her to rope up...
