Worth a burn
best part of the climb is the killer hand to finger crack at the top. To get off, do a second pitch around to the rap anchors for the 10c face climb on Rock Hudson. Annoying, but typical Josh.

No Gear Necessary
Just five draws; three for the climb and two for the top. There is a pod up high that would take a #1 camalot, but if you haven't fallen by then, you're not going to, are you?

Jam or Lieback?
It's up to you...do you trust that friction? Well, do you?
Apparently the first free ascent of this line was John Long and John Bachar on toprope. The second was Bachar, solo.

Little bit of everything
My new favorite climb in JT. Takes bomber gear the whole way; only challenge is not running out!

Crimpy + Sunny
Wait for a cold or cool day to do this one. Slightly contrived, but well worth a shot; unlike most Tahquitz face climbs, it's steep and powerful.

Forgot my drill...
Anchors/bolts on pitches 3-5 are less than pristine. There was also a lot of detritus on and near the route, including a rope bag left at the top of the 4th pitch. Anyone?

Great Line, Bob!
Fantastic climbing all the way. A tricky sequence off the first belay was the crux for me, but it's fairly continuous. Check out the shoddy and sparsely placed bolts on Magical Mystery Tour to your left, or better yet, give it a go on TR when you rap.

Must-do
This route is awesome. I think the bolt is, technically, to protect a traverse back to Thin Ice (which explains why it's so far to the right). I put a long runner on it and was glad to have the peace of mind, but the gear at that point is really good, too. You will take a long but safe fall if you come off at the top. There are two methods at the anchors: step high (balancey and graceful) or go low (thuggish and ugly).

Worst rock in QM
Though the look of this crack is impressive, I don't know that any amount of traffic will clean it up. There are a couple of rotten pods, some dirt down low, and intermittent guano. The scenery, however, is great. Save a #3 for the top.

Great Route(s)
One of the best routes at the Needles. One of the best anywhere.
