This is a really fun route and an excellent route for the fledgling crack leader. It's short and not too strenuous and offers excellent jams and protection. One of the nicest routes in Indian Cove, actually, in my opinion.

Wholeheartedly agree with Josh. One of the highest quality cracks I have climbed at JT. It was a frustrating lead before learning crack technique. Now, it's just pure fun--a nice validation of proper technique.

Very nice. If only much longer ... but that's true of 99.9% of the routes here.

one of the best in Jtree.

I'd give this three stars if it were twice as long ... protects well, and flat out fun!!! A must do when in the area...

Two Stars, Too $hort, Too Bad! A fun crack.

Enjoyable, but woefully short - even by Joshua Tree standards. Maybe a good warmup before heading to the Wonder Bluffs.

Straight forward jams to exit right. Hand and fist sized pieces work well for the anchor.

Nice, straight in jamming from fingers to hands to a crux exit leaving the crack for face holds out right. Did this as an onsight solo and was less than thrilled with the somewhat reachy and commiting move right, but the holds are big and positive. Would take excellent pro if you're leading, and would be a good route for the budding 5.8 leader. Just wish it were longer. You can also access by scrambling in from the right from the "cove" of a few campsites if #66 is occupied and you don't want to wade straight through their site.

Would be a 5-star classic if twice as long, but still a nice tick. We had brutal winds the day we did it, and this was nice and sheltered.

Good route; a little hard for the grade. Awesome move to exit!

Welcome to Hand Jam City! A bit harder than it looks. Protects well. Take #2 and #3 cams to build the anchor.
