Fell on the crux moves at the bottom. Started again and got it clean. Really fun route.

Hidden Valley Campground The Blob West Face | ||||||
5.2 5.3 PG | ★ Beginner's Two - with Dav | 64m | ★ Good | |||
A bit of a sandbag. The name is misleading - I chose this for my friend's first ever rock climb having never climbed it myself: a good initiation to old-school "easy" JT routes! We descended in semi-darkness via the chimney near Bussonier.

Didn't take a big cam so had to run it out a bit on P2 but fun, secure climbing and a nice sunset.

Sun 13th Nov 2011 - Joshua Tree National Park | ||||||
Hidden Valley Campground Intersection Rock South-West Face | ||||||
5.8 | ★★ The Flake | 43m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Apparently we both did the lower chimney/offwidth section facing the wrong way which made it much harder. I had to pull on a sling to get through this section. The rest of pitch 1 and the slabby pitch 2 were good.

Hard to believe its a 16 when you look at it from the ground: a truly memorable climb!
|

Great climb with lots of variety in its 4 pitches. We swung leads with my partner Geoff doing pitches 1 & 3 and me doing pitches 2 & 4.

Certainly doesn't feel like a 5.9 - in fact it's only a 5.8 in the two guide books I've seen.

5.7 | ★★ Dung Fu | 37m | ★ Good | |||
Requires a variety of techniques. The chimney near the top looks daunting but isn't too bad. I found the climb quite strenuous.

Sheep Pass Hall of Horrors The West Wall (West Face) | ||||||
5.10a | ★★ Ledges To Laundale | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
I think I started slightly right of the actual start for this climb which may have made it easier, but this didn't seem like a 5.10 to me (mainly because I've never managed to get up a 5.10 in J-Tree before). Mind you, I'm sure it would be a whole lot different on lead).
