Michael McKay gains the security of the crack after pulling the slabby crux of P1 of Right On, on Saddle Rocks.

Approximate topo of our 4 pitches on Right On. Cut left at a dike after a handcrack bulge on pitch 4. The route description in the Bob Gaines new "Best Climbs" book is well, pretty much, right on.

Michael McKay climbs the second pitch of Right On, in Joshua Tree National Park.

Start of the 3rd pitch...getting to the good stuff. I set up a trad anchor just above the large horn (belay #4 for us)and brought up the rest of the team of 4 where we sat like pigeons on a ledge and enjoyed the awesome view!<br>

Sarah doing some slab slithering

epic views at the top of the pitch 3 runout.

Jordan belaying Russell @ the 2nd belay cave. A Petzl Reverso worked great for bringing up a team of four!

Kelly nears the top of P3

Rapping off the main block (to the right of the upper notch) on a rappel chain. When you reach the notch, make sure to climb this last block for the INCREDIBLE view!

Coming up the first pitch. Cool slab moves.

Russell Elroy topping out on the final pitch.

Matthew & Michael enjoy the spacious belay ledge atop P2 of Right On, Joshua Tree National Park.

the view from the cave. i love this picture

Looking down at the easy first pitch

Jay climbing up the second pitch (we linked pitch 1 & 2, so "by the book" it would be P3)...weird start!!

Larry G. midway through P2 (of 3).

Second pitch. Some lie back required.

Jeff Dimick climbing the chimney slabs on pitch 2.

Kelly nears the cave at the top of P1

3rd pitch chimney. Too strenuous/awkward to place gear early if you start off chimney'ing from the belay.
