Description Suggest change

This is a variation to Blues Brothers, with exceptionally good rock quality. The rock is extraordinarily smooth for Joshua Tree. Four out of five stars.

Start 20 feet left of Blues Brothers. Climb the slab past 4 bolts (10d/11a above the 2nd bolt), moving left at the fourth bolt to a thin seam that is followed up and right to where it joins Blues Brothers, then make a somewhat run-out face move (5.8 PG) up to a straight-in crack which leads to ledges. Move right and climb the headwall just right of the regular Blues Brothers finish (which is a left-facing corner a bit over to the left), up to a fixed pin, from where you can continue straight up (10+) or move right to a ledge for an easier (5.9) finish.

2 bolt anchor (90 Ft.)

Protection Suggest change
