Description Suggest change

At the far left (north) end of the west face of Locomotion Rock there are two obvious, slightly left-leaning hand cracks that go from near the ground to the top of the rock. Grain Dance is a TR problem between Jumping Jehosephat (the left crack) and Leaping Leaner (the right crack).

Follow a rounded and slightly offset crack/seam up and left to a blank section in the face. Friction up through the crux to reach a second seam system, just up and right of the first. The movement is fun and will likely increase your trust in Joshua Tree friction climbing.

Protection Suggest change

TR this climb from anchors at the top of Leaping Leaner, the left-leaning crack to the right. A 3-inch cam (#3 Camalot) works well for a directional in the horizontal crack at the top.
