5.8 Wet Pigeon - with Rob Trad Very Good
Fell on the crux moves at the bottom. Started again and got it clean. Really fun route.

 
5.5 Men With Cow's Heads - with Dav Trad 50m Good
Had led this a few years ago. Protects well - a good beginning leader's route.

Hidden Valley Campground The Blob West Face
5.2 5.3 PG Beginner's Two - with Dav Trad 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.

5.6 Mike's Books Trad 49m Good
Didn't take a big cam so had to run it out a bit on P2 but fun, secure climbing and a nice sunset.

5.8 The Flake Trad 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.

5.7 5.8 Walk On The Wild Side Mixed trad 91m, 6 Classic

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 Trad 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.

5.4 Eschar Trad 12m Good
Only my second lead, the first being a 5.3, but it felt OK at the grade.

 
Wed 9th Feb 2005 - Joshua Tree National Park
Sheep Pass Hall of Horrors The West Wall (West Face)
5.10a Ledges To Laundale Trad 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).
