Comments: those other routes in my opinion are really about 5.6 not 5.8 as they are claimed.

Comments: this is a great boulder problem, but i have always disagreed with the v2 rating. i am certain this problem is more on par with j-tree 5.10 not mid 11.

Comments: this is a great moderate climb, Frazier Haney was attending Santa Cruz university when he and todd put this climb up, thus it got its name. i would give this climb 3 outta 5 stars. i would rate it 5.9, probably not 10a.

Comments: this is a fun addition to the echo slab climbs, in a few seasons this will be the most popular moderate in the echo cove. from the anchors you can top-rope pinky lee another excellent climb.

Comments: uh chris i said this was one of the best i have done in the cove, i have done better routes, and yes they were up rattlesnake canyon, and you are right about the 3 outta five stars, but umm its not 11a, its probablly 11c, ive done a few of your FA 11c's and they are much easier than monnaco.

Comments: i dont know if calling it 5.10c is really sand bagging it, its really the truth the most gimme 5.11 ive done in the park.

Location: CA : Joshua Tree National Park : Wonderland of Rocks : Astro Dome - South : Such a Savage (5.11a R)

Comments: I recommend the start further left of the original line as it's more direct and much safer, the only difference is you miss out of some good runout friction climbing.

Location: CA : Joshua Tree National Park : Real Hidden Valley : Tumbling Rainbow Formation : Run For Your Life (5.10b R)

Comments: i think it would hold the small fall you would take on it seeing as the next move you get to a slam dunk jug also its a nice have that little bit of "security" after the moves you just did, in any case its up to the leader, i was just pointing out tht you could do it.

Comments: you can also place a green alien under the flake after the second bolt and there is an okay stopper placment above the last bolt, right at one of the cruxes

Comments: in between the frst and second bolts you can also slot a small stopper, its not that far from the next bolt but its there if you want it, this climb and heart and sole are the best climbs of that grade on Echo Rock.

Comments: crux section is easier if you dont stop to place the pro, i recomend having a bolder pad or a good spotter and hold off on the pro till you get through the crux, there is an awsome stance a move or two after the crux, the crux isnt to far off the deck.

Comments: to make this climb even better you can link it to the 10+ arete above i belive it has three bolts, make for a very enjoyable climb although the arete is a little heads up.

Comments: i agree with randy, an awsome line as good or better than janes addiction. this climb is easily toproped by hiking up the NW side of the formation.

Comments: okay ill start this with an apology for the length of this post.
Murf- first only one bolt was added to this climb not counting the anchor, the bolt was added by the first acsentionist, this was his descion and should be respected not scrutinized,this is america, not russia. the bolt was added because, some one ( not the great murf) could easily fall and get hurt, this is a excellent and popular climb, and gets done many times a week, the chances of somone getting hurt without the bolt are p... more >>

Comments: once you commit to the crux you can shove a purple Camalot(#4) itno the fist, hand jam slot, or if you want to dodge the jam you can plae it before the crux, this will definatly keep you off the deck.

Comments: to set a top rope you will nead to ropes, you can set an anchor on top of the for mation then rap down to the anchors and set up the TR off of the bolted anchor, this is one of my favorite 5.11's ive done in the park, you just gotta trust those smears, as Randy implied not a good one to do in the middle of summer as i did.
