5 out of 5 stars Longer than we thought

Long two days. We took our time getting started on Saturday. We didn't hit the trail until 8 am, finally getting on the ridge about noon. Make sure you bring plenty of water if you move slow. Each of us had about 1 gal and that was not enough with a planned bivy. Overall it was great fun. I felt some of the leads were up to 5.7. Maybe we were just off route. Excellent route to get someone introduced to the alpine environment.

5 out of 5 stars Fun day of crack climbing

Climbed with Tom Keefer and John Loomis. I led the first pitch, followed 2 pitches of Constellation in 1 rope length finished at the 1st belay for The Consolation. I thought the second pitch of this route was harder than the crux pitch with the 2 cracks. Over all a great route, one worth going back to do again.

5 out of 5 stars Son's first trip to J Tree

I took my son Joshua for his first camping trip to J Tree. I did one climb that weekend, he watched from the ground. The climb went as uasual. In a few years hopefully he will be able to join me climbing.

5 out of 5 stars Solo

As I was setting up to lead Toe Jam I realized I left my belay at the top of Beginner's One. I threw the rope on my back and my shoes on my harness. I ran over the the climb and soloed the route.

5 out of 5 stars First topping out on this route

I have climbed the first pitch many time beofre, but never the entire route. This was my first time climbing the whole route. I led the first pitch taking the direct (5.8) lieback to the tree. My climbing partner took the second pitch and did a great job in route finding and ran the 2 pitch out into the third pitch. he setup the belay above the arch, just above it though. I ran out on the third pitch using most of the bushes as my anchors. I set up the bleay for the final ptich and Tom finshed the easy but small 5.6 thin finger crack to the top.

5 out of 5 stars Second time climbing the route

Start the belay for the first pitch up on the rock buldge at the base. This will give enought rope for a 60m to reach the 2nd belay, running the first two pitches together. I recommend climbing over the first horn, might cause a little more rope drag, but it's easier on the second on the traverse. The horn pitch has a lot of placements for nuts.

3 out of 5 stars a real dummy's route

not sure if the name has a hidden meaning, but it is one of the hardest 5.9 I have been on. The hands are great, but the feet are terrible. A great lead by my climbing partner Tom.
