Description
The opening moves are a semi tough series of laybacks and pinches and advanced free climbing moves to gain the deep flaring slot in the middle of the pitch. Rest up in here and get ready for the crux top out. Keeping your last pro out of your hand slot is probably recommended. Interesting and sorta sequential moves will have you on the summit.
Lonne and Ohlson are responsible for a host of burly routes at Joshua Tree - the Banana Cracks, Morongo Man, etc.
