Took me a little recon to find the right gear and sequence through the crux and after failing and feeling spent on the first day trying this we rested and came back in two days for the send. An awesome piece of history and a Stella line! John bachar put up some really respectable lines and I believe this is up there with them. Super stoked to have ticked this right before breaking my leg lol

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.

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.

Second go on top rope. Cedar was on it so i thought I might as well join in as I wasn’t doing anything. Very fun, bouldery, intense crack climbing. A sandbag.

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.

  
5.11c ★★ Hot Legs Contest (Jugline) — 3 attempts - with Klara R Unknown Joshua Tree National Park ★★ Very Good
Fabian Michel 		Fri 3rd Mar 2023
Crux from second to third bolt. Somehow had no endurance at all today and just couldn't climb it from the ground, was out of breath after just a few moves. Quite a nice route, though.

  
5.11c ★★ Hot Legs Contest (Jugline) - with Fabian Michel Unknown Joshua Tree National Park ★★ Very Good
Klara R 		Fri 3rd Mar 2023
Nice, but the crux of the route I could only climb in two parts. There is an arrete with several bad holds and a good foothold on the right where you can jam your right foot. The left foot needs to be very close to the right. Then with right hand to a crimp next to the arrete. And into a jug. Then right foot to higher shitty foothold. Left foot somewhere on the left and and left hand to crimp an sloper.

  
5.11c ★★ More Monkey Than Funky - with Klara R Unknown Joshua Tree National Park ★★ Very Good
Fabian Michel 		Sun 5th Mar 2023
90° overhanging roof of about 5 meters with a hand crack and then a vertical finger crack after the lip, trad apart from a bolted anchor. It was a bit hard to try the moves while also having to put in the cams, so I mostly aided the roof. Jam technique, particularly for the feet, was also definitely lacking. Then, there is a really good kneebar before some more hard moves until your feet are above the lip.

  
5.11c ~5.11d ★★ More Monkey Than Funky - with Fabian Michel Unknown Joshua Tree National Park ★★★ Classic
Klara R 		Sat 11th Mar 2023
I did the route with aid clibing, sitting in the rope and in toprope . But also in toprope removing the cams is quite hard and you would fall to the next cam after removing one, since it is a roof. Did not do the moves when going into the roof and also in the finger crack above the roof I could not do the jam and had to pull on a cam. I can only imagine that the moves might be nice. Very hard, especially if you are not used to crack climbing. Of course I cannot say for sure that it is harder than 5.11c, but certainly it felt for me that way.

  
5.11c ★★ Flim-Flam Man — 3 attempts - with Fabian Michel Sport 8m, 3 Joshua Tree National Park ★★★ Classic
Klara R 		Sat 11th Mar 2023
Very nice route, first try in toprope, then lead but first quickdraw clipped (since I wasn't sure to stick the moves before fist bolt), then third try I sent it (also with first quickdraw clipped) nice technical moves that require some endurance.

  
5.11c ★★ Flim-Flam Man — 2 attempts - with Klara R Sport 8m, 3 Joshua Tree National Park ★ Good

Very short sport route, the crux is to hold some small sidepulls
