Stairway to Kevin (5.8), Joshua Tree. Photo by Gre...


Description 

About 150' right of Tiers For Fears (5.10d R) are several left-slanting crack systems. This climb takes a prominent rib on a face left of and in front of those slanting cracks.

This is one of the easier routes in the area and features fun, well-protected climbing in a scenic, remote location.


Protection 

5 bolts, pro to 3" for anchors

Short and sweet.......fun and easy. Go off route to the right, run it out and beef up the rating a bit to make it more of a challenge. No bolts or pro off route and a deck for sure. I do not advise to do it off route it is just how we did it.

Possible Gordo sandbag. Three of us did it yesterday and called it 5.10. Maybe holds have broken off, it is still a bit crunchy.
