Comments on Climbs at Joshua Tree Comments on Climbs at Joshua Tree by Roger Linfield May 9, 2001 The climbs in this writeup, in the 5.7 and harder difficulty range, are ones that I have climbed (or in a very few cases, started up and backed off from). Unless otherwise stated, all the climbs in this list are adequately protected. Route numbers are from Randy Vogel’s 1992 guidebook. The climbs are arranged by my ratings of their difficulty. This is not always the same as the difficulty listed in Randy Vogel's 1992 guidebook or in Alan Bartlett’s guidebook. I have made up a list of the climbs for which my rating differs from the published ones. Because many of the routes at Joshua Tree lie on northeast or southwest faces, it is often difficult to find a climb that receives morning sun (an important consideration on a cold morning). Comments on climbs that get morning sun are therefore included. Comments on climbs that rarely receive any sunlight are also marked ("shaded location"); this information may be useful on hot days. The comments on sunlight are accurate during most of the climbing season: from October until early April. In late Spring, the sun rises so far north that northeast faces receive full sunlight for several hours in the morning. Conversely, climbs that face due south are in the shade for a few hours just after sunrise at this season. I plan to update this document (mainly adding additional climbs) about once per year. To receive a copy of the latest version,or of a similar one on climbs at Suicide Rock, send me e- mail at [email protected] Snail Mail PMB 514 6525 Gunpark Dr., Suite 370 Boulder, CO 80301 Please do not place this document on a web page without my permission. 5.7 AA very nice finger and hand crack Able Was I Ere I Saw a short, fairly nice wide hands (crux) and finger crack.

  • But Ms. Ronstadt Sure Is
    He’s No Good: But Ms. Ronstadt sure is Okee dokee folks… I don’t know what to say right now. The Republican Senate is now an accomplice to every crime Trump has committed and surely will commit. Come November, you all must remember what has happened. We need to save this country from the cult of Trump. Hang onto the anger, but spread it far and wide and use it in November! Read on… I think that every male of my age had a crush on Linda Ronstadt in the ’70s. Though Ronstadt is no longer able to perform, tribute acts are keeping her songs alive. One such act, The Linda Ronstadt Experience, will be at The Met on February 14. If you want to spend your V-Day singing along to “You’re No Good,” “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me” or “When Will I Be Loved” then this is the place for you! Biscuit City opens the show. Coming up the next night at The Met are The Mallet Brothers with Celtic punk band The Pourmen. On Leap Year Day, February 29, that gal with a guitar Ana Popovic will show you how it’s done. For more, “Blue Bayou” to themetri.com When the post Valentine’s show The Love Hangover was conceived 20 years ago, I am not quite sure this is what they had in mind. I have the feeling that it was more cynical in nature. Every year on February 15 musicians sing, usually in duets, about love’s trials and tribulations at this morning-after (actually evening-after) music marathon.
