Featured Route For Varnished Wall Boulders

Forged in Fire V1  CA : Joshua Tree National Park : ... : Anvil Boulder

Fun moves and much easier than it looks. * This problem isn't listed in the Joshua Tree Bouldering Guide but is an obvious line with some good moves that's worth a go when in the area....[more]   Browse More Classics in CA
