Amazing route, hands down the most fun slab I've climbed. Seriously run out at times.
	5.11c	★★★ Hot Rocks	Mixed trad 25m, 1	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Classic	Stuart McElroy	Sat 4th May 2002
Got a wee bit pumped on this!
	5.11c	★★★ Wangerbanger	Trad 18m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Classic	Gareth Llewellin	Mon 13th Dec 2010
not as hard as i thought it would be. Still solid though.
	5.11c	★★ Roller Coaster - with Klara R	Sport 21m, 9	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Classic	Fabian Michel	Fri 3rd Mar 2023
Nice mix of climbing and really well protected. Also a nice finish for the day - clipped the anchor in the last rays of the sun.
	5.11b	★★★ Coarse and Buggy	Trad 25m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★ Very Good	mark	Mon 25th Mar 2013
Great line, fun stemming with tips for hold, and a kick in the teeth steep layback to finish, happy to onsight this.
	5.11b	★★★ Coarse and Buggy - with Zac, Zack, Dylan, Jack, Luon	Trad 25m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Tue 31st Dec 2019
Marvellous stemming corner but oh my was it chilly. I ended up taking my shoe off half way up to massage my foot back to life. Very surprised I managed to not fall off.

Nice splitter fingers and thin hands.
	5.10d	★★★ Book of Changes Direct Start - with Jack, Luon, Trinity Robinson	Mixed trad 30m, 1	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Sat 4th Jan 2020
A brilliant piece of climbing with some mixed rock quality, and an outrageous sandbag. It’s supposed to be 10b after the initial slab moves but I definitely pulled an 11- sequence up high, miles above my last somewhat questionable piece. I was massively gripped! Very very memorable.
	5.10d	★★★ Rubicon - with Birte K.	Trad 35m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	SHOW ALPINIST	Wed 28th Oct 2015
Genial.

smeary! Lots more fun than it looks.
	5.10c	★★★ Clean and Jerk	Trad 25m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Nick Thatcher	Wed 5th Nov 2008
One of the best routes I've ever done!
	5.10c	★★★ O'Kelley's Crack	Trad 20m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Gareth Llewellin	Mon 13th Dec 2010
Maybe the best route I've done in JTree. Even the guide says the start is 5.11 so not sure how this is rated 10c =)
	5.10c	★★★ Clean and Jerk - with Jack, Trinity, Luon	Trad 25m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Vidler	Fri 3rd Jan 2020
Awesome steep and varied crack climbing, probably quite hard for the grade.

very consistent but an amazing climb
	5.10c 5.10b	★ Judas - with Rene Provis, pez, james peet	Trad 24m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Classic	James	Sat 31st Oct 2015
A single staunch move that is a little harder if you dont use the flake. Okay with small hands. Then scarily up.
	5.10b	★★ Fisticuffs	Trad 12m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Classic	Adam Straw	Wed 4th Nov 2015
Awesome fist jams through overhanging terrain at the top. Kinda short though.
	5.10b	★★★ Illusion Dweller	Trad 30m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Classic	Justin A	Sun 22nd Dec 2013
A beautiful full-value trad pitch deep in the big boulderlands
	5.10b	★★★ Illusion Dweller	Trad 30m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Alex Riegelman	Sun 21st Jan 2018
What a pitch! Beautiful, sustained movement the whole way. Crux right at the start of the route and then 30m of sometimes insecure climbing to go to not screw it all up Get on it if you're in the area.
	5.10b	★★ Pinched Rib	Trad 14m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★ Very Good	Alex Riegelman	Sat 20th Jan 2018
Great movement – I just wish it was 3 times as long.
	5.10b	★★★ Illusion Dweller - with Trinity	Trad 30m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Vidler	Wed 25th Dec 2019
One of the best trad routes at the grade I’ve ever done. Long and varied and sustained, what more could you ask for?
	5.10b	★★ Fisticuffs - with Trinity	Trad 12m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★ Very Good	Will Vidler	Wed 25th Dec 2019
Desperate if you have small hands, only just squeaked the onsight. Overhanging fours suck.
	5.10b	★★★ Illusion Dweller - with Will Vidler	Trad 30m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Classic	Mary Grace Stocker	Wed 29th Jan 2020
Fun route! Proud to onsight.
	5.10b	★ Not For Loan	Trad	Joshua Tree National Park	★ Good	kletterlisa	Sat 31st Dec 2016
original finish to anchors out right
	5.10b	★★★ Illusion Dweller	Trad 30m	Joshua Tree National Park		Jacques Beaudoin	Wed 24th Feb 2010
Fantastic climb
	5.10b	★★★ Sidewinder - with Ben North	Unknown 21m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Classic	Sam North	Sun 16th Oct 2022
Better use of slings would have given me less rope drag and I could have done with a bolt on the final rising traverse. It would be quite a swing.
	5.10b	★★ Pinched Rib	Trad 14m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Classic	Klara R	Wed 1st Mar 2023
Quite easy, but getting down from the anchor quite scary and tough.
	5.10b	★★★ Illusion Dweller	Trad 30m	Joshua Tree National Park		Dave	Fri 17th Nov 2023
Brilliant route, it's what climbing is all about. Long and sustained excellent fun

Thin at times.
	5.10a	★★★ Heart and Sole	Sport	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Kole	Mon 20th Dec 2004
delicate and slightly bold to start, then just plain fun.
	5.10a	★★★ Bird On A Wire	Trad 100m	Joshua Tree National Park	★ Good	Jeffrey Pierce	Sun 1st May 2005
More face-like than crack
	5.10a	★★ Hang 'Em High	Trad	Joshua Tree National Park	★★ Very Good	Kole	Tue 21st Dec 2004
Super insecure smear, kinda scary and commiting.
	5.10a	★★★ Heart and Sole	Sport	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Nick Thatcher	Sat 25th Oct 2008
Brilliant!
	5.10a	★★★ Exorcist	Trad	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Kole	Thu 4th Dec 2003
thin
	5.10a	★★ Prepackaged	Trad 25m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★ Very Good	Ian Z	Mon 4th Nov 2013
Finger crack down low has megabomber finger locks, though I found the gear to protect the first move a tiny bit tricky (or perhaps I just thought extra hard about it because a ground fall would not be good).
	5.10a	★ Norm	Sport 24m, 5	Joshua Tree National Park	★ Good	Ian Z	Mon 4th Nov 2013
Pretty fun route. You'll probably want a green alien for the bottom flake since I wouldn't trust the piton. Apparently an old piton ripped out up high as well, which accounts for the moderate distance between two of the bolts up high. I tried to protect this move with a tiny nut, but I doubt it would have done much if I fell on it.
	5.10a	★★★ Bird Of Fire - with Trinity	Trad 17m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Tue 24th Dec 2019
Very nice, technical crack climbing. Worthy.

	5.9	★★ Orphan	Trad 25m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Classic	Kole	Thu 10th Nov 2005
A little bit of everything, just a great line. Not awkward at all.
	5.9	★★ Loose Lady	Sport 30m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★ Very Good	Kole	Wed 6th Oct 2004
Long and sustained, kinda painful near the bottom.
	5.9	★★★ Touch and Go	Trad 25m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★★ Classic	Kole	Fri 11th Nov 2005
Solid rock, good line.
	5.8 5.9	★★ Sexy Grandma - with Gavin Smith	Sport 24m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★ Very Good	Gavin Smith	Mon 4th Jan 2016
Nice, easy route. Bring a #2 if you want to protect a small amount of runout on easy terrain before the anchor, but in my opinion no other gear is necessary with three well placed bolts and two solid-looking pins. The crux, to me, came just beneath the first bolt rather than pulling past the roof.
	5.10a 5.9	★★ Loose Lady	Sport 30m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★ Very Good	Alex Riegelman	Sat 20th Jan 2018
Engaging slab climbing up a lovely buttress. Fairly modern bolting for JTree.
	5.9	★★ Sexy Grandma	Sport 24m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★ Very Good	KieranNorth	Wed 15th Feb 2023
very cool movement, placed a #2 and a #3 after the last bolt
	5.9	★★ Sexy Grandma - with Klara R	Sport 24m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★ Very Good	Fabian Michel	Sun 26th Feb 2023
Nice sport route
	5.9 ~5.9	★★ Sexy Grandma	Sport 24m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★ Very Good	Klara R	Wed 1st Mar 2023
Nice, not really traditional but I think more 5.9-5.10 one high foot move that feels harder than 5.8
	5.9	★★ North Overhang - with Dave Burt	Trad 35m	Joshua Tree National Park	★★ Very Good	Nick Roach	Fri 5th May 2023
A lot of fun. Even better than it looks

Fun, tricky crux

Brrrr! Too cold to climb, but an excelent route.
	5.8	★ Cranny	Trad 8m	Joshua Tree National Park	Don't Bother	Pavel Burov	Fri 23rd Nov 2012
Short and easy. Ask your belayer to climb to the ledge or you would have an extremely bad landing zone in case of falling.
