Six Days in Joshua Tree (still not enough)

 Some quick highlights of our J-Tree 2011 trip. Stacy made us all tape gloves. They worked great, and I won't climb crack without them again. Here Paul is getting the custom treatment.

 One of the great routes we got to climb. This is overhang Bypass. It is rated 5.7, but is very heady. I truly enjoyed it.

 This is part of the reason the climb was so good. Great company. I don't get to spend enough time with these two guys. Better climbing partners would be tough to find if possible at all.

 Another great route. Mike leading Mental Physics. Very heady, exposed, and super fun.

 The three amigos at the top of Walk on the Wild Side. Eleven bolts in close to 400 feet of climbing. Six of the bolts are on the first pitch. Slab climbing is generally not my favorite, but I really liked this climb.

 The Gang.

Walk on the Wild Side from a distance. It was hard to pick just a few pics for this post. If you would like to see more I have them posted on facebook. If you climb, and have not been to Josh I recommend you plan a trip. I can't wait to go again.
