| Taylor, I think your best bet would be to spring for a guidebook. It will tell you which climbs have bolted anchors and are topropeable. It will also tell you which climbs are sport climbs. Get a guidebook! Nomad Ventures sells them and is on the way into the park in the town of Joshua Tree. |  FLAG |

I mean like a set of 8ft and a set of 15+ft. As far as pro goes, just a few medium sized nuts and a #1 through #3 camalot or similar will get you through. |  FLAG |
