BETA PHOTO: Mastering (5.2) on Outward Bound Slab
Add Photo  Printer View
Description This is the gully that ascends the left side of the South Face of Outward Bound Slab just to the left of Look Mom No Sweat. Lots of ways to run up this route make it anywhere from 5.2 to 5.4 or 5.5 and although it's hard to protect low, most of the route is easy enough that it's not an issue.
From the anchors, continue up and slightly to the left over a bulge to a notch in the rock to downclimb the backside of the formation
Protection Little pro down low, one #3 Camalot in the crack at the top of the route protects the crux moves before reaching a three-bolt anchor which (as of Feb 2010) was just hangers.
Patty mastering on the last day of 2010.

| Vogel's 2006 edition of "Rock Climbing Joshua Tree West" calls it simply "Mastering." Vogel's 1997 "Classic Rock Climbs Joshua Tree National Park" calls it "Mastering Five-Two." Bartlett's 1998 Edition of "The Wonderland Guide" also calls it "Mastering Five-Two." The 1979 edition of Wolfe and Dominick's guide to Joshua Tree NM doesn't include the route at all. Maybe the area hadn't been developed yet. |
