Sausage, egg, and cheese burritos in the making, while our first line of the day awaited in the morning sun, right behind our campsite. Good lead, Reno! 29 Oct 2006

First time at J-Tree. This line is easy to spot on TheBlob. Quite an eye opener from the "5.7's" I'm used to....I did get it clean though, took all I had, but I did get it. Can't wait to go see what other gems Joshua has to offer.....

great moderate trad route to relax on!

Me smoking The Bong. This a great intro to leading on gear with ample places to put in pro.

This is the route, Buissonier on the Blob near the Hidden Valley Camp Ground. My husband and his father were enjoying this route. I am considering to send this photo as a part of this year's Father's Day gift.

About sunrise sometime in early January. The blob as seen from the formation across the campground (the Wall?).

Chris on Papa Woolsey.

I had to take this shot of an unknown climber on Buissonier... that's a well protected route right there!

That's me, hanging on trying to find something for my feet. Nothing but smearing! You can see the chimney section above me. The picture was taken in the rock cave where the route starts.

My first visit to J-tree, trying out my new Katanas on the thin edges of Papa Woolsey

First visit to J-tree, super fun steep face climb! Felt great sticking to those thin edges with my new shoes!

Hobbit Roof, The Blob, J-Tree, Cali., U.S.. The hobbit roof is a novelty roof crack. The lower section is dime ledges on a slab and the upper section is a crack. Climber is Grant, photo by Trevor.

Really fun 10c move getting past the roof on the Hobbit in Joshua Tree.

I met Tim and Chris before they headed up to The Blob rock formation. The evening was en route to meet the night, the wind was blowing hard and was a bit cold, but the light was great, and the colours were highly contrasting.

Tim has just managed to get over the small roof, and is now in what seemed to be the crux for me from where I was standing, in the cold setting sun of the J Tree desert. Picture 3/3. Photo by Thomas Ribière. Minolta 600si, Kodak Gold 200, no PS.

13 yr. old Travis Coco contemplates his placement while leading his very first trad route, The Bong (5.4). Taken: 5/15/05

Myself leading Hobbit Roof (10d) trying to get a .75 camalot to fit into the varying width crack. Sweet climb, i just wish it were longer.

Stepping out onto the friction and jamming the perfect hand jams on Hobbit Roof

Face and crack - everything that is good. Cheers to all the team from St George.

While going on his way to take everything away, Theo put his magical hat and flew to the top of the route ... I like your hat so much dude ...
