Bri much focused on a sunny and crisp day at El Cajon Mountain. This is the last 5.10a pitch of the “center direct route” 400 feet above the ground. Always great to hike out there, feel so remote but be so close to the city.

Red Obelisk in Joshua Tree National Park is located in the Wonderland of Rocks area. Small but fine this obscure 30 feet formation screams to be climbed as it towers above the high desert floor. No problem for our Swiss friend Martin Clalüna.
Don Juan Boulder in Wonderland of Rocks in Joshua Tree Nationalpark. This route is called “the Duke” and is given an A0/5.9 rating. A0 is the lowest rating on the aid climbing scale. Aid climbing means ascending a rock with the help of gear. In this case it is a fixed rope that needs to be lassoed over a horn at the lip of the boulder! YES… Get your cowboy on and lasso the horn – ascend the rope – then enjoy beautiful and classic 5.9 Joshua Tree slab climbing. With this climb being the easiest way to get up “Don Juan”, not many people can claim to have been up there (it may take forever to actually sling the horn on its sweet spot). Who’s up for a try? Gotta love these shenanigans!
Climbing “figures on a landscape” a stunning 3 pitch ultra Classic in Joshua Tree Nationalpark. This, like many of the J Tree routes is a must do climb. Here on the money pitch #1
