Hit the Ortega’s with my crew Sunday. It has been at least 15 years since I would scour this place for something to climb with my friend Craig Pearson. This area we climbed was new to me and Kevin introduced me to a couple of cool lines. I almost flashed Washed Out (2nd try), probably […]

First Ascent of a new climb in Joshua Tree. No idea how hard, but once it gets some traffic should probably settle in the V6 range…? M.Turner Nice job Mike! Looks like a good problem.

An okay hard start added onto an excellent problem. Vino Rojo by itself is definitely a better problem, but I had to do this after it cost me a hole in my finger. Much better beta for the tall folks for the top out.

Interesting to see the new beta (at least to me on Sex After Death), I guess that is why is was downgraded. It never occurred to me to heel hook left for the crux, I assume that makes it easier.  For those that know know heel hooks are not my forte. Paul probably has some […]
