One of my first J Tree lead climbs, Frosty Cone (5.7) offered a comforting amount of face holds around the crack.

A better shot of the Frosty Cone line than the one I'm leading. I never did get the names of the leader shown here or her belayer.

This is me climbing a sport route (dairy queen wall) at Joshua Tree. This photo was taken in early August 04 by Matt Reno. The temperature in the shade was 102... Very warm but very rewarding. The top anchor was quite a ways up from the third. A really great wall - almost as fun as Hemingway... -Brady Brim-DeForest

This is nice jug on Dairy Queen wall where I decided to take a break an think about the crux. It is some 5.7'ish crack with good holds inside and out.

This was kind of hard for a 5.7. Geez Louise!
