FYI, there are no bolts on the crux pitch; that intermediate rap station is gone. View Comment

I really enjoyed this route, but I was wondering about the crux--I'm a tall guy, and it was a lot easier to… View Comment

Luke, kudos to you (or whoever replaced the anchors). The first anchors were truly nightmarish: a crappy bo… View Comment

With a TR, a couple of rests, and stepping on gear, this was no more more than 5.10+... Awesome route. M… View Comment

Did this after Paradise Lost and the moves seem just as hard or harder, though not for as long. Even with t… View Comment

The question is, where should it go? I busted some wild moves out around the arete on TR to gain the offwid… View Comment

The first pitch is like climbing on a slab covered in eggshells. At the crux I broke what seemed to be a ke… View Comment

If you are doing the routes at the first cliff please be careful not to lower/rap off the end of your rope!… View Comment

I top-roped the link-up from the top of the second pitch to the top of the pillar. There is an odd stray bo… View Comment

Also worth noting that this feels hard for the grade, in addition to having to bust 5.10+ moves above the h… View Comment

How did he do the aid section? View Comment

The "extra" bolt is definitely not on the route, and clipping it would give you a lot of drag unless you pu… View Comment

Felt hard for the grade, and would probably feel less scary if it got more traffic. Long runouts above blac… View Comment

Make sure you find the good nut placement in the horizontal. It's hard to miss, but somehow I did and had t… View Comment

Great route, Royal! Bouldery start + sustained jamming = pump. View Comment

I remember this being rated 12a in the guidebook, and feeling soft at that.... View Comment

The line of bolts that angles right along the dyke and joins Just Barely at top is called Just Lovely. In m… View Comment

Classic line. Perhaps a little easier if you have a big reach. Wonderfully thought-provoking moves high up.… View Comment

A way of making this climb longer, though somewhat more runout, is to stay on the arete instead of traversi… View Comment

Doing these back-to-back ups the grade, I think. The guidebook says they're the two most "Yosemite-like" cr… View Comment

I took the 3.5 in 2007 -- it still looks good! View Comment

Broke a hold and took a long fall. Bad rock (duh) and route is a bit contrived. My least favorite of all th… View Comment

I have to second Luke on this--the starting moves do feel incredibly hard (and sharp!); much harder than th… View Comment

I think the right start is significantly harder (and longer) than the left. View Comment

This climb is heady, but never frightening. You must make one move high above the first bolt, and the climb… View Comment

This route has horribly loose rock. Giant loose flakes and crumbling feet throughout, with perhaps 20 feet… View Comment

This is a fun route for sure. You need small wires and tcus for the first pitch. If you are over 6'1" it is… View Comment

Just a note on The Manly Dike: though well-bolted for Joshua Tree standards, a few of these bolts really ar… View Comment
