Joshua Tree OW

What are some of your favorite 5.10 to mid 5.11 OWs in the park? Especially harder chimneys.

I’ll start the list with Comfortably Numb, One Armed Giant, Centurion, kamikaze.

one armed giant is pretty cool… not a whole lot of actual chimney for any great length going on out here though.  What ones have you done?

I’ve gotten most of the JT routes on your list as well as some inverts like Maneater and Inquisition, with the exception of the routes around the Pinto Basin. Hoping to get poodle boy this week.

Bitchen… have you been out to the Throbbing Gristle yet?  How about flares, like 29 Palms?  Emotional Rescue should be on your list too.  Oh… and Castaways.

I haven’t been out to Throbbing Gristle yet but I love flares. I’ll add emotional rescue to my list.  Hopefully, it’s as full value and exciting as castaway. Thanks for the beta!!

Moving to montana

You gotta do Throbbing Gristle! 

Fisticuffs a offwidth?

For most climbers I would say a hand jam crack with maybe 1 or 2 arm bar moves unless your a extremely small person.

Came across this on geology tour road. 30-40 degree overhang. Would probably put up a good fight

Haber Chimney- a sport bolted chimney

Surprised to see no mention of Firewater Chimney on The Arrowhead. Has bolts though, so maybe not the true flavor you’re after.

Edit - maybe a little easy for your list

I always wondered what the name of those chimneys at split the summit blocks on Duckwaddle Dome were. I’ll have to keep looking to find Haber.

Thanks for the list guys. This’ll keep me busy for the rest of the winter

Haber Chimney is over near Meteor Crack in the Cap Rock area. It's in the Miramontes' Joshua Tree sport climbs book. It has 5 bolts I think.

Innervisions has no gear unless you have huge cams (11-13") or tube chocks but is very secure.

It's called Totally Tubular. And it is... Totally tubular!!!! Way fun
