4 out of 5 stars Sweet Climb!

1st half is pretty straight forward. 2nd half is just a big network of webbing cracks that could be climbed a million different ways. Stay left of the last bolt to stay on route. Probably closer to a 10a or 9+. Not sure I have been climbing at Joshua tree, so my ratings are all off.
