A short but fun exercise in fist jamming. Easier for big hands via big cupped hands, or with heavy taping.Descent Options:
Downclimb to climber's right, down low-angled slab to a crack that circles clockwise and down passing a tree before reaching the ground. Have a good look at this beforehand. Also possible to scramble over top to rap anchors atop east face.

So I was on my way out of Josh Tree and I really wanted to do this crack but my partner wasn't feeling up to it. So I asked a boulderer who had just put his crash pad down if he wanted to follow and clean for me (there's no rappell off this one, only a down climb). He said he'd never really climbed trad before and would be willing if it meant he didn't have to place any gear. I asked himif he'd climbed cracks before and he said "Nope." I said "well, you won't have to place any gear, just take it out." He threw on his harness and we were off. Loved the climb, second only to Illusion Dweller in my mind, didn't loose too much skin, and the other guy said he loved it too. He had a huge smile on his face as he came over the lip at the top... And so another boulderer perhaps steps into the world of trad...
