Description
Slab climbing. Crux is low, the climb eases off as you climb higher. Somewhat poor rock quality. As of December 2018, the bolts on this route are bad for a few reasons. The rap rings are hollow, almost none of the bolts are stainless steel and none of the bolts are painted to match the rock. If you are bolting in Joshua Tree please know the rules and bolt safely.
