Description 

Just east of the Augile de Joshua Tree you will find a rather long wall about 12-15 feet in height. The wall is a mere 10 feet from the Aiguille de Joshua Tree. If you are facing this wall Aiguille de Ankle Breaker is on the far right side.
Start by following the thin seams at the corner for about 10 feet. Start as far right as possible.There isn't much in the way of feet so heel hooking is key. At the bulge reach low for the jug and pop for the lip.
The climb is named for the multitude of loose rock at the base that was present when the first ascent was done (the landing has since been cleaned up).

Protection 

Crash pads a few spotters.
