Exorcist 5.10a  CA : Joshua Tree National Park : ... : Hall of Horrors - East Wall...
This classic Josh route is on the backside (west-facing) of the rock facing the road. The climb is roughly in the middle of the rock and starts off a ledge in a recessed area. Thin jams/liebacking up a smooth, thin crack characterize the start which protects well with wires and small cams. The crack ends and turns to face climbing past a bolt which protects to the top. Rap from anchors on the ledge above with one rope. ...[more]   Browse More Classics in CA
