Chili Sauce (V7), Joshua Tree NP

Add Photo  Add Comment    Printer View

Description 

Chili Sauce is a fairly obvious dihedral on a boulder that lies near the right side of the formation on the desert floor.

Climb a short, overhanging dihedral with sweet diagonal rails and stems. Move out left to a pockety seam and a diamond shaped black diorite edge. Power through the crimpy crux to a jug over the top.


Protection 

A pad is nice to cover a rock underneath the crux.

Originally regarded as the hardest boulder problem in J-Tree, its then rating of V9 has been twice down graded to the current V7 (still wildly hard).

One of the best in the Park. Requires an equal mix of technique and crimp strength. Multiple choices of sequences up to the diamond knob, and multiple ways of pulling the crux past it.

Kinda funny how big a deal peeps make of the final sequence. Whether you are heel hooking or not, the hands are still the same. I have also heard some call the sit start v9, and others say it does not add anything to the rating!?

I'd agree, both finishes felt about the same to me. One is more technical, the other requires more crimp strength. I think people get wound up about it because they aren't strong enough for the "easier" heel hooking beta and get bouted on the techy stems with the original beta, or they sent it back when people called it V9 and are still nursing the butthurt from the multiple downgrades.
