5.10b | ★★★ Illusion Dweller - with Trinity | 30m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Mega Classic | Wed 25th Dec 2019 | ||||

5.10b | ★★ Fisticuffs - with Trinity | 12m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Wed 25th Dec 2019 | ||||

|
|||||||||
V5 | ★★★ JBMFP - with Ronnie, JT, Trinity, Zack | 5m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 28th Dec 2019 | ||||
A fair few goes in the snow, at night, and very drunk.

5.11+ | ★★ Turtle Classic - with Trinity | 6m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Sun 29th Dec 2019 | ||||
A very hard slab.

5.9 | ★★ Loose Lady - with Trinity | 30m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Sun 29th Dec 2019 | ||||
More classic, run-out J-Tree slabbing. Gets 10a in the guide.
|
|||||||||
5.12b | ★★★ Satanic Mechanic - with Trinity, Fann, Ronnie | 15m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Sun 29th Dec 2019 | ||||
Peer pressured into tying in and the slightly warmer weather saw me clipping the anchors quite comfortably. A great route!
|
|||||||||
V5 | ★★★ JBMFP - with Trinity, Fann, Ronnie | 5m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 29th Dec 2019 | ||||
To me, this is the perfect boulder problem. The top out was covered in snow, so after putting my heel up and rocking over, I didn’t quite complete the top out and jumped down. I’ll go back and do it properly at some point but i feel fairly comfortable claiming the send.
|
|||||||||
5.11c | ★★★ Hot Rocks - with Luon, Jack, Zack, Dylan | 25m, 1 | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Mon 30th Dec 2019 | ||||
The coldest of the cold, even our portable heater couldn’t save us. Radical climbing!
|
|||||||||
5.11b | ★★★ Coarse and Buggy - with Zac, Zack, Dylan, Jack, Luon | 25m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | 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.
|
|||||||||
5.9 5.9 R | ★★ T.S. Special - with Zack | 30m, 1 | Joshua Tree National Park | Tue 31st Dec 2019 | |||||
Very very R. A fall from the incredibly sandbagged crux move pulling through the roof would be terrible, I was happy to be on second for it. Zack ended up building a belay due to rope drag and I did an unprotected second pitch of friction to the anchors. Tobin Sorensen was a mad man.
|
|||||||||
5.10b | ★★ Pope’s Crack Direct - with Jack, Luon | 40m, 1 | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Tue 31st Dec 2019 | ||||
Fun easy crack climbing to a rad but incredibly reachy move through the roof. Worthwhile.
|
|||||||||
5.10a | ★★ Sphincter Quits - with Jack, Luon | 21m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Thu 2nd Jan 2020 | ||||
Good, interesting crack and face climbing. Very windy. Soft for the grade.
|
|||||||||
5.10b | ★★ Rollerball - with Jack, Luon | 18m, 1 | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Thu 2nd Jan 2020 | ||||
The roof is the money for sure! A good climb.
|
|||||||||
5.11c | ★★ Roller Coaster - with Jack, Luon | 21m, 9 | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Thu 2nd Jan 2020 | ||||
Classy sport climbing with a very tricky sequence at the start. These J-Tree climber sure know how to slab but aren’t so good on the steep jugs.
|
|||||||||
V4 | ★★★ Pig Pen (Bachar Cracker of the Desert) - with Jack, Luon | 4m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 2nd Jan 2020 | ||||
Totally punted it. Spent way too long hanging upside down in the roof trying to figure it out and pumped myself to oblivion. Fell off the last move.
|
|||||||||
5.3 | ★★ The Eye - with Jack, Luon | 24m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 2nd Jan 2020 | ||||
Brilliant for the grade, and such a lovely summit.
|
|||||||||
5.10d | ★★★ EBGB's - with Jack, Luon, Trinity | 16m, 5 | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Fri 3rd Jan 2020 | ||||
This was a very alien experience for me. Friction slabbing is quite hard and scary it turns out. Unreal climb, unreal position, unreal mantle(?)
|
|||||||||
5.10c | ★★★ Clean and Jerk - with Jack, Trinity, Luon | 25m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 3rd Jan 2020 | ||||
Awesome steep and varied crack climbing, probably quite hard for the grade.
|
|||||||||
5.9 | ★★ North Overhang - with Jack, Luon, Trinity | 35m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Fri 3rd Jan 2020 | ||||
A wonderful way to spend an evening. We watched the sunset on top with a few beers. Sublime.
|
|||||||||
5.10d | ★★★ Book of Changes Direct Start - with Jack, Luon, Trinity Robinson | 30m, 1 | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | 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.

5.7 | ★★ Toe Jam - with Jess | 20m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Sat 4th Jan 2020 | ||||
Seeing what all the hype is about. Toe Jam TV is better than Toe Jam the climb. At night.
|

5.8 | ★★★ Walk On The Wild Side - with Trinity Robinson | 91m, 6 | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Sun 5th Jan 2020 | ||||
Lovely long slab. We started on the wrong route which made for a spicy traverse back on to the line, and somehow Trin skipped a bolt. Wild.
|
|||||||||
5.11a | ★★★ Heart of Darkness - with Trinity Robinson | 10m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Sun 5th Jan 2020 | ||||
Quite soft for the grade but very very fun nonetheless. If only it were longer.
|
|||||||||
5.8 | ★★ The Flake - with Trinity Robinson | 43m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Sun 5th Jan 2020 | ||||
A brilliant pitch for the grade. Very long and varied the whole way with interesting moves from the chimney all the way to the slab. A good one.
|
|||||||||
5.8 | ★★ Cryptic - with Fann, Greg, Ronnie | 12m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Mon 6th Jan 2020 | ||||
Great climbing, probably a sandbag though.
|
|||||||||
5.13b | ★★ The Cutting Edge - with Fann, Ronnie, Greg | 15m, 4 | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Mon 6th Jan 2020 | ||||
Well this is very hard. Managed all the moves up to the crux at the last bolt which is around V9 and very very reachy. Probably 12+ except for that sequence. Pretty rad.
|
|||||||||
5.6 | ★★★ SW Corner - with Fann, Ronnie, Greg | 12m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Mon 6th Jan 2020 | ||||
Excellent, also probably a sandbag.

5.12c 5.12c/d | ★★ Seizure - with Greg, Fann, Ronnie | 28m, 5 | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Mon 6th Jan 2020 | ||||
A colossal sand bag but brilliant rock and an improbable line. I put in a fairly worthy onsight effort but was stumped by some very reachy and very very hard moves a bit above half way. Only the one go.
|
|||||||||
5.7 | ★★★ Mental Physics - with Greg, Jack, Davis | 55m, 1 | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Mega Classic | Tue 7th Jan 2020 | ||||
One of the best things i’ve ever climbed at the grade. The only way to do it is as a giant single pitch! Awesome crack and face climbing up to an excellent slab and good rock the whole way (by J-Tree standards). Rad.
|
|||||||||
5.9 | ★★ Dazed and Confused - with Greg, Jack, Davis | 55m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Tue 7th Jan 2020 | ||||
Worth doing if you’re out at Mental Physics. A fun, heady slab. Also done as one giant pitch.
|
|||||||||
5.9 | ★★ High Strung - with Greg, Davis, Jack | 28m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Tue 7th Jan 2020 | ||||
Brilliant climb marred only by the block you can stem out to for a lot of it. I found the wide more exciting than I expected. Well worth it.
|

V8 | ★★★ Diary of a Dope Fiend - with Greg, Eric, Prith | 8m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Wed 8th Jan 2020 | ||||
Had a fair few goes at this. I could do everything in the roof and had excellent linkage there but the final move is truly a show stopper for me. Kind of like V6 into another V6.
|
|||||||||
5.12c | ★★★ Equinox - with Cedar | 20m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 9th Jan 2020 | ||||
This thing is completely all time! One of the absolute best pitches i’ve ever tried. On my second TR lap i managed to go from below the crux to the top, pumped out of my brains. Stellar climbing up a stellar line in a stellar location. (x2)
|
|||||||||
V6 | ★★★ All Washed Up - with Nolan, Zack | 6m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Fri 10th Jan 2020 | ||||

|
|||||||||
V6 | ★★★ Streetcar Named Desire - with Nolan, Zack | 4m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Fri 10th Jan 2020 | ||||
Completely nails. People trying this as a run and jump has made the feet at the start so glassy you can barely stand on them. Very unfortunate. Still a classic line up a classic feature though.
|
|||||||||
5.11c | ★★★ Wangerbanger - with Trinity Robinson, Everyone | 18m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Sat 11th Jan 2020 | ||||
Accidentally fell off on the onsight when I forgot to try hard. Went fairly easily second go. Awesome rock!
|
|||||||||
5.10c | ★★★ O'Kelley's Crack - with Trinity Robinson, Everyone | 20m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Sat 11th Jan 2020 | ||||
The move to get off the deck on this was truly one of the hardest I pulled in Joshua Tree. Completely insane, especially if you are short. After this sure it’s 10+ ish to the top but it is undeniably a colossal sand bag at 10c for that first move.
|
|||||||||
5.11c | ★★★ Hot Rocks - with Trinity Robinson | 25m, 1 | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Sat 11th Jan 2020 | ||||

5.10d | ★★ The Decompensator of Lhasa - with Trinity Robinson | 25m, 5 | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★ Very Good | Sun 12th Jan 2020 | ||||

|
|||||||||
5.12d | ★★★ Father Figure - with Fann, Danny | 15m | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Sun 12th Jan 2020 | ||||
This was so so excellent. It’s just like a campus board. Probably a bit of a sand bag, especially if you’re short. My onsight ended at the crux but i did all the moves and had some really excellent linkage. I’ll be back one day for sure. Also the scene of us nearly getting beaten up due to other’s absurd machismo. Hilarious. (x3)
|
|||||||||
5.11c | ★★★ Hot Rocks | 25m, 1 | Joshua Tree National Park | ★★★ Classic | Tue 14th Jan 2020 | ||||
Doing a bit of a fitness morning and getting it fully dialled in. I think I did it twice clean placing the gear on rope solo, clearly the best style ascent.
